Made in the USA," New Book Published by Hannover House, Sparks Senate Legislation ActivityLast update:
5/12/2010 12:43:02 PMNEW YORK, May 12, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- New legislation designed to create tax incentives for American-made products and to close existing loopholes that encourage foreign outsourcing of jobs may finally come to the U.S. Senate. Author Barr McClellan and Hannover House publisher and C.E.O. Eric Parkinson have been recruiting support among U.S. Senators for proposed new legislation outlined in McClellan's new book, "Made in the USA," that could spark a revival in U.S. manufacturing jobs and the entire economy. Preliminary drafting of a bill is being coordinated with legislative staffers representing two Democratic Senators and two Republican Senators, reflecting the non-partisan nature of the action. A target date of mid-June has been set for the official presentation of the bill and the announcement of the principal Senators supporting the measure. "This is a historic bill that will positively impact our nation," said Parkinson. "American manufacturers and service providers need a fair and level playing field in order to compete with imported goods and foreign companies. Our existing tax codes create incentives to ship jobs overseas, when we should instead be creating incentives to keep jobs here." "Made in the U.S.A." offers an insightful, timely and thought-provoking look at the economic decline of America and its clearly identifiable causes. McClellan explains how the loss of U.S.A.-based manufacturing jobs to overseas suppliers not only exports consumer dollars but undermines the American economy. His solutions range from the closing of governmental loopholes and tax incentives that encourage the outsourcing of jobs, to simply asking American consumers to buy products that are "Made in the USA." Barr McClellan has 40 years of experience as an attorney and entrepreneur. He was instrumental in obtaining cell phone licenses in Texas and was also involved in the politics of the presidency as a partner in the Clark Law Firm, which handled personal legal matters for former President Lyndon Baines Johnson. McClellan's best-selling, "Blood, Money & Power: How LBJ Killed JFK" (Hannover House 2004) uncovered the conspiracy behind the assassination. "Made in the USA" is on sale at bookstores nationwide, including Barnes & Noble, Borders and Books-A-Million. It is also available through on-line sellers such as Amazon.com. The book is a hardcover edition release, 351 pages, and is priced at $24.95 suggested retail. The nonfiction categories are Business, Economics and Politics.
