Headrick Hits Fleischmann Jobs Plan

Tuesday, October 16, 2012

“People need to actually read Chuck Fleischmann’s ‘7 Point Job Plan’ and ask themselves, ‘How does this increase jobs in Tennessee’s 3rd Congressional District?’” Dr. Mary Headrick, Democratic candidate, stated today.

She said, “With the exception of a Small Modular Reactor project, none of the proposals my opponent lists would help create jobs here.”

Saying he has taken actions "that will actually cost American jobs," she said, “Rep.

Fleischmann wrote a letter of support for the TransPacific Trade Partnership, a trade agreement that will send more U.S. jobs and dollars overseas. It would make our trade deficit even worse, and hand over our ability to self-govern to foreign companies. My opponent favors letting foreign companies tell us what safety or patent laws we are allowed to have, and would allow these same foreign companies to drive down our wages.”

Dr. Headrick promised to “defend our sovereignty and fight trade agreements that let foreign companies decide our U.S. law. I will defend our U.S. jobs and economy.”

She "suggested that voters look at her opponent’s plan for themselves" at http://fleischmann.house.gov/jobs.

“Read his radical proposals,” she said. “Pay particular attention to pages 20-29. The truth is, I am the true fiscal conservative."
