ManufactureThis wrapped up a busy month on the road last night at beautiful Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Our “Keep It Made in America” Town Hall meeting had so many highlights that it’s hard to know where to start.

I should of known by the “Keep It Made in America”
Well-known Wisconsin radio talk show host Sly moderated a panel discussion that included insightful remarks from Jon Geenen of the United Steelworkers, Rod Bolhous of Milwaukee-based Bucyrus International, Inc., Margrete Strand of the Sierra Club, and Sachin Chheda of the Wisconsin Fair Trade Coalition. Among the topics: the plight of the paper industry in Wisconsin, how an American manufacturer is able to keep more than 2500 jobs in Wisconsin, the work of the Blue-Green Alliance to grow new “clean energy” jobs, what we need to do about China’s unfair trade practices, and what a new trade policy would look like.

Ok, I think I heard of Sly, then I see United Steelworkers, then Sierra Club and then Wisconsin Fair Trade Coalition. Holy crap, What the heck are the Green Bay Packers doing here letting a lefty pep rally being held at Lambeau Field?
Rep. Steve Kagen (WI-08) laid out his vision for trade and manufacturing next year. His opponent, John Gard, was invited, but did not attend.

I fell out of my chair when I see Steve Kagen "laid out his vision for trade and manufacturing next year." What plan, oh "spread the wealth", that's right. Nice they had to mention John Gard did not attend.
A.J. Hawk and Mason Crosby of the Green Bay Packers gave their support for keeping good jobs in the community, telling the nearly 500 gathered in the atrium at Lambeau Field that a strong manufacturing base is important to the football team and the community.

Sorry, lost my respect for two Green Bay Packers.
And we received a terrific welcome from Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt, State Rep. Tom Nelson, and Steelworkers District Director Mike Bolton. In a region that has seen dozens of plant closures and layoffs from unfair trade practices from China, the meeting helped to galvanize public support for a plan to grow manufacturing in Wisconsin and throughout America. We hope Washington will get the message.
So what did Jim Schmidt say about all the down sizing that Fort Howard / James River has gone through lately and what will he do about lost jobs.

You can see and read a bit of the media coverage of the event here and here.

Even this long-time Chicago Bears fan was honored to be at Lambeau, together with the community of Green Bay, A.J. Hawk and Mason Crosby.


I don't understand how a Bear fan got in and how the Green Bay Packers would of let this take place at Lambeau Field.

A union, anti business liberal left pep rally.

To the Packers G M. Are you really that hard up for cash?

Hope this wasn't for free or was it a donation by the Green Bay Packers.


Where is the MSM on who paid for the use of building and who paid for Hawk and Mason? You notice the two links from the GBP and Fox 11 are vague on their information.

Sorry, silly me, maybe the Packers are for Barack and the democrats. If they are, just say so. If not, they should of kept this liberal event out of the holy ground of Vince and all our hero's.

Someone going to say anything about this? Will anyone look into this? Highly doubtful.

Where is Bob Harlin?

Update- I would have no problem with this if it was a bi partisan event. But it was not.
