We deserve a more Vibrant Economy

Opportunity and economic security will flow from a new forward-thinking American industrial policy that encourages the private sector to create and restore jobs here instead of outsourcing them overseas. Our Storied American icons like Levi's jeans, Converse All Stars, Craftsmen tools, the IBM Thinkpad and so many more have left our shores and taken good-paying jobs away as well. We need to bring those jobs home!

The manufacturing industry and its supporting cast of innovators, designers, engineers, suppliers and distributors long provided the backbone of American industrial, economic, and military might. The jobs and opportunities created helped build the middle class into a formidable economic power while providing the opportunity for the American dream to flourish.
