    Ogden, Utah 84401



    WHY:



    With American's support for international trade ebbing, CEA is engaging

in this national effort to highlight the importance of trade to America

companies, and more importantly, the American worker. CEA has called on

Congress to reject isolationism and enact trade agreements that expand the

economy and create American jobs.



    "Free trade is vital to any consumer electronics company, because all

of the goods that are exported overseas, equal funds that come back to our

economy, spur additional job growth and ultimately benefit the state as a

whole," said Ray Kimber, president of Kimber Kable and host of the tour

stop in Ogden. "That is what I refer to as being a good social citizen."



    Consumer electronic companies, such as Kimber Kable, are prime examples

of how Free Trade has been a benefit to the Utah economy. Kimber Kable

exports about 60 percent of its product overseas, which contributes to the

more than $1.89 billion of goods and services produced by the consumer

electronics sector in Utah and exported to customers in foreign markets.



    The "America Wins With Trade" national bus tour kicked off in New York

City on Monday, July 21, and stopped in Washington, D.C. for a pro-trade

rally and press conference on Capitol Hill. Learn more about America Wins
