Manufacturing is the engine that has driven our economy for over a century, and it will continue to do so well into the 21st century.

We face some very real challenges, but with the right leadership and your help we can succeed.

In this election year, we have a chance to make the voices of American manufacturing heard– to demand that our political candidates work to preserve and strengthen this vital sector of our country.

Our series of national Town Hall meetings is designed to educate and empower voters to demand answers from their political candidates on the important issues of trade and manufacturing.

“Keep it Made in America” Town Hall meetings are free and open to the general public. Cities for 2007-2008 are:

You can ensure that we stand up for American workers and manufacturers by demanding that all of the candidates for President have answers to these questions:

1. As President, how will you save American manufacturing jobs?

2. What specific policies will you support to strengthen the American manufacturing base, which is vital to our economic and national security?

3. What steps will you take to enforce our trade laws and hold cheating countries like China accountable?
 

AAM’s Town Hall meetings are hosted by John Ratzenberger.
