John Edwards vows to reverse trade policies

[Bluebear]

DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — Democrat John Edwards vowed Wednesday to labor leaders that if elected president he will reverse trade and tax policies — some of them dating from Bill Clinton's administration — that he said are designed to wipe out middle-class working families.

He introduced his mother and father — Wallace and Bobbie Edwards — to underscore his argument that as the son of a mill worker he understands union issues best among the candidates.

"I grew up in a Carolina mill town and I've seen firsthand how people's lives are devastated when factories close down and those manufacturing jobs are lost," said Edwards. "Manufacturing has suffered more than any other sector of the economy because of currency manipulation, illegal foreign subsidies, bad trade deals and rising energy and health costs."

The former North Carolina senator capped three days of appearances by Democratic candidates before a regional conference of the United Auto Workers, a union that has a heavy influence on Democratic politics in Iowa's leadoff precinct caucuses.
