I’ve received numerous pleas to post this information (which has been fine, honest) and I apologize for not getting it up earlier, but it’s been a little nutty around here over the last couple of weeks.
Luckily, Lisa Renee of Glass City Jungle and Ohio Valley Politics have posted about it already. You can also go here to read more about the event but the vitals are:
A national Town Hall meeting, hosted by John Ratzenberger, will be held in Columbus, OH at 6:30 pm on Thursday, Nov. 8, at The Columbus Athenaeum, 32 N. Fourth Street. Ohio bloggers are invited to attend and cover the event. A brief summary:
1. The Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a national, non-partisan organization based in Washington, DC, is sponsoring the event.
2. The meeting will be hosted by TV’s John Ratzenberger (‘Cheers,’ The Travel Channel’s ‘Made in America’).
3. The event will focus on Ohio’s continuing loss of manufacturing jobs. Voters will be encouraged to ask candidates blunt questions about what they’ll do to help save U.S. manufacturing.
4. Attendance is free, and is open to the general public. Bloggers are encouraged to RSVP in order to reserve media seating and prime Internet access. (Doors at 6 pm, event starts at 6:30).
5. Post-show interviews with John Ratzenberger must be arranged via RSVP before the event.
To RSVP, or if you have any questions, please contact Steven Capozzola at: scapozzola@aamfg.org or 202-393-3430
Now – if bloggers disclose that they’ve…well, I don’t know what exactly, since the event is free, will they be considered to be performing an act of journalism whilst liveblogging the event, or otherwise reporting afterwards?
I’m told that there will be free parking and a complimentary buffet dinner beforehand, and that the start time for all that is actually 5pm so you may indeed want to email Steve to firm up that info.
Unfortunately, I will be on a propeller plane tomorrow trying to get to a bar mitzvah in Alabama (yes, they have Jews there!). But I understand some of my favorite bloggers will be there and I’m very sorry to miss it. Have a great time.

Ohio needs understand that bush loves nafta and a vote for McCain is only going to put us further into the hole. We need to shut off NATFA (not a f**ken trade aggreement) No more offshoring jobs.
Ok – but let me ask you this, Trevor – for example, I just learned that a friend of mine’s husband is going to Asia to open a brand new facility in that location and use locals for it (it’s in the pharma industry but not drugs).
Is that offshoring?
