AAM’s Town Hall in Columbus, Ohio last night proved to be another successful, informative event, with an enthusiastic audience and an engaged media.  We’ll be posting more information and photos on the event soon enough.  In the interim, you’ll probably want to read the article on it by the Associated Press’s Stephen Majors.

In response to the Town Hall meeting, we’ve already received a number of follow-up calls and emails.  So here’s a sample from our mailbag:

FROM: John D. Diamond, Columbus, OH
“My name is John D. Diamond and I just heard the American Manufacturing.org presentation by John Ratzenberger last night in Columbus, Ohio and would like to praise you for the work that you are doing!  I am a union steward for the Internationol Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and a third generation union member. My father and grandfather both worked in the Steel mills outside of Pittsburgh until all our jobs went overseas.”

If you’re interested in a full summary of Town Hall meeting, you can read Lisa Renee Ward’ account on Glass City Jungle. 

Ohio voters sounded off clearly at the Town Hall meeting.  We’ll be watching to see if the various presidential candidates heed the message.
