Manufacturing: Debatable?

Our friends at the Alliance for American Manufacturing have organized a unique election forum in Pennsylvania.


Clinton and Obama to Discuss Manufacturing Issues at Candidate Forum in Pittsburgh, PA

What: Presidential Candidate Forum on Manufacturing, sponsored by the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) and its partners. Senators Obama and Clinton will unveil their proposals to address the challenges facing America’s manufacturers, including China’s dumping, subsidies, and currency manipulation. Sen. John McCain was invited, but is unable to attend.

Who: Senator Barack Obama, Senator Hillary Clinton

When: Monday, April 14, 2008

Why: Pennsylvania has lost more than 207,000 manufacturing jobs since 2000, with more than 78,000 jobs moving to China alone since 2001. The event will focus on strengthening American manufacturing and addressing China’s unfair trade practices.
