Dennis Kucinich said "American steel is in a crisis. Yesterday the House of Representatives defeated a resolution to study the crisis. American steelworkers and their families do not need studies. They need action to stop the dumping of steel in this country. The dumping of steel is causing prices to drop, it is threatening the jobs of American steelworkers, it is threatening local economies, it is threatening our strategic industrial base, and, therefore, long-term threatens this country's ability to defend itself. Americans need action to stop the dumping of steel. They need quantitative restrictions on allowing steel into the U.S. market. They need the application of countervailing duties. We do not need more studies. We need action. Stop the dumping of steel in this country. Save the steelworkers' jobs. Protect the American economy." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
