    Submission statement: The Jones Act, which requires that cargo moving between U.S. ports must travel on U.S.-built, owned, crewed, and flagged vessels, is being targeted by a six-figure digital campaign calling for congress to repeal it. The costs associated with these U.S.-owned vessels are often pushed onto consumers in gas prices and food prices.

    Edit: The article is also good because they link to visual data that AFP has compiled, making a case against the Jones Act.

  2. Any petitions I can sign? Heck I’ll send it to everyone I know, jones act came up at the last family get together and it wasn’t popular.

  3. if the idiot libertarians want to start making amends for abandoning their principles and helping elect a protectionist neocon mad king, this would be a good one to start with

  4. Of course, I hate the Jones Act! Everybody my age hates the Jones Act! It’s the coolest! You ain’t cool, unless you hate the Jones Act!
