A Growth, Opportunity, and Prosperity Agenda for America

While working on hundreds of individual issues, the Chamber in 2008 and beyond will put the full weight of its organizational capacities behind one overarching mission--strengthening the competitiveness of the U.S. economy so that all hardworking Americans can prosper and enjoy the benefits of the American Dream.

 

To achieve this mission, the nation must act upon the following goals:

• Attracting, Educating, and Empowering Workers for Successful Careers
• Securing Our Nation With Clean, Affordable Energy
• Modernizing Our Infrastructure to Free the Flow of People and Commerce
• Ending Lawsuit Abuse and Ensuring Litigation Fairness
• Strengthening U.S. Capital Markets for Entrepreneurs and Investors
• Providing Health Care and Retirement Security for Every American
• Creating American Jobs by Expanding Free and Fair Trade
• Protecting Intellectual Property
• Keeping Taxes Low on Hardworking Americans and Businesses
• Challenging the Unions’ Anti-Growth Agenda

The Chamber's agenda for growth, opportunity, and prosperity will benefit workers by improving education, expanding trade, building infrastructure, stopping frivolous lawsuits and intellectual property theft, expanding affordable health care and investment opportunities for all citizens, and keeping taxes low. These reforms will create hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs for Americans.

 

It's an agenda that will put and keep more money in the pockets of all workers and their families. It's an agenda that will put our nation at the center of global growth and excellence, ensure economic security, and revitalize the American Dream.
