Whose Side Are You On? Consumers Group Asks Boston Herald Readers to Not Support Empires of

Collusion


WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


    Today, with the backdrop of the RISI North American Forest Products

Conference wrapping up in Boston, the Consumers Alliance for Global


the Boston Herald


that the "Empires of Collusion" (http://pulpwars.com/empires_of_collusion)

continue to push an anti-prosperity, anti-trade agenda. Participants at the

RISI conference consist of groups trying to prevent high-quality, low-cost

foreign competition-the result keeps thousands in poverty in developing

nations and drives up costs for consumers.

    This coordinated campaign is run by radical environmentalists and others

against the producers of pulp and paper from the developing world, destroying

the livelihoods and aspirations of thousands of the world's poor. In the ad,

CAGP highlights how radical environmentalists, unions and corporate interests

have formed the "Empires of Collusion." It is time to put a stop to it and

make the human choice - the moral choice - at PulpWars.com.


    In a recent report, (http://pulpwars.com/empires_of_collusion) CAGP

demonstrates how companies such as Staples, OfficeDepot, and OfficeMax,

domestic paper companies Sappi, NewPage, and Appleton, along with Green NGOs

Rainforest Action Network, Greenpeace, and WWF, as well as the US

Steelworkers Union have colluded to destroy high quality, low cost

competition from Indonesia and China.


    "With all the scheming and wrangling taking place to cut out competition,

perpetuate poverty in developing nations and raise prices, the consumer is in

for a shock if these groups have it their way," said Andrew Langer, President

of the US-based Institute for Liberty and spokesperson for CAGP.


    Langer added, "We ask the people of Boston and around the country to

visit our website and join the thousands who have already let their voices be

heard on this issue."


    About CAGP:

group that promotes economic growth and pro-consumer policies across the
