Interested in Restoring America’s Manufacturing & Family Farming? Attend This Meeting …

October 5, 2011 By Ron Sylvester 2 Comments

Dayton Economic Summit

On The Revitalization of Manufacturing

Family farmers and consumers should be as interested in restoring America’s place as a world leader in manufacturing. We share many of the same concerns as U.S. manufacturers such as trade policy, tax reform that leads to local economic activity and access to capital. The Coalition for a Prosperous America is a nationwide organization dedicated to working for a new and positive U.S. trade policy that delivers prosperity and security to America, its citizens, farms, factories and working people. CPA has been holding regional meetings throughout Ohio focusing on the specific economic interests of those areas. Consider spending some time at the Dayton Economic Summit to learn about southwest and western Ohio’s potential. Be a part of breakout sessions where your voice can be heard and you can be a part of developing policy recommendations for the area’s state and federal legislative leaders. The summit will be held October 7 from 7:30 a.m to 1 p.m.

      I almost didn’t approve this comment through moderation because I don’t know anything about this group. There is nothing on their website regarding the principals in this company, although their message seems to be “right on.” Engage at your own risk … Ron
