Many of the presidential candidates are stumping in Iowa this week, and many of their staffers are attending our Town Hall meeting tonight in Des Moines.  We can only hope that the candidates themselves will get the message that we’re trumpeting.  Iowa has lost 22,000 manufacturing jobs since 2000, and many local residents are greatly concerned about the impending Maytag factory closure.  The U.S. needs to take serious action to strengthen its manufacturing base and save American manufacturing jobs.

You can read a good preview of tonight’s show in Newton Daily News.

PS: One way to join us in Des Moines is to tune in live to the event at the blog “Moments of Clarity.”

See you there.
