Yes, AAM is right now holding a Town Hall meeting in Aliquippa, PA. We’re live-blogging at our second ‘Keep it Made in America’ program of the week.

Republican Congressional Candidate Melissa Hart discussed trade policy and now her opponent, Rep. Jason Altmire (D-PA, 4th district) is offering similar remarks. AAM events are always non-partisan and so all candidates in any local race are invited to discuss how they’ll help strengthen American manufacturing.

Earlier Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley (D-MD) welcomed the more than 400 attendees at our event. It’s a very packed house tonight.

In a few minutes, we’ll start our panel discussion, featuring return appearances from David Pasquale of Col-Fin Specialty Steel and John DeFazio of the Pennsylvania Steelworkers. AAM’s Scott Paul and Kerri Houston Toloczko will round out the group.

A post-script: it’s cold out here in Western Pennsylvania. Earlier today, when we did a live interview with Louie Free at WASN 1500AM in Youngstown, OH, a few stray flakes of snow were falling at mid-day. We’re fired up, though, and rolling down the highway.
