2012 National Association of Manufacturers (NAM)
1 The NAM Voting Record 112th Congress
Dear Manufacturer: October 2012
When Americans go to the polls on November
6, the decisions we make will have a lasting
impact on the economy. As manufacturers
advance our agenda for jobs and economic
growth, manufacturing allies who are elected
to the U.S. House and Senate can help turn
our advocacy into legislative action.
Over the course of a congressional term,
lawmakers take dozens of important votes.
The National Association of Manufacturers
(NAM) Voting Record for the 112th
Congress highlights those votes that have
the most signicant impact on our sector.
Manufacturing means jobs, and each of
the votes scored by the NAM would boost
employment and grow our economy.
This NAM Voting Record tracks key
manufacturing votes over the past two
years. Lawmakers who score 70 percent
or higher receive the NAM Award for
Manufacturing Legislative Excellencea
powerful acknowledgment of their support
for policies that strengthen both our sector
and the overall economy.
Manufacturers are eager to lead the
economic recovery, yet too often policies
created in Washington stand in the way. With
this NAM Voting Record, manufacturers and
our allies can clearly see where our elected
representatives stand on issues that are
critical to this countrys competitiveness.
Manufacturing employs 12 million men
and women across the country, and the
industry supports millions of other jobs.
Manufacturers are a political force, and
with our full participation on Election Day,
we can make signicant strides toward the
manufacturing renaissance that the nation so
eagerly awaits.
Thank you for your support of manufacturing,
and thank you for your advocacy on behalf of
the millions of men and women who make
things in America.
Sincerely,
President and CEO President and CEO President and CEO

Businesses. Vote on S. 3412, legislation that would result

$250,000 annually (including S-corps and other pass-through
entities). Approved 51-48 on July 25, 2012 (Roll No. 184).

manufacturers is counterproductive and will prompt many
companies to put investment and hiring decisions on hold.
