Reps. Manzullo, Ryan Launch New Website to Share
News, Activities of House Manufacturing Caucus
Bipartisan Congressional Caucus also active on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter

WASHINGTON — U.S. Reps. Don Manzullo (R-IL) and Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) have launched a new website to keep citizens informed of the activities of the House Manufacturing Caucus, which they co-chair.

The website will chronicle the caucus’ efforts in the 112th Congress to strengthen U.S. manufacturing and help employers put Americans back to work. Manzullo and Ryan co-founded the Caucus in 2003. Nearly 80 Members of Congress have already joined the House Manufacturing Caucus, and membership continues to climb.

“The House Manufacturing Caucus continues its mission to strengthen American manufacturing, and the new website will help share our efforts with the people,” Manzullo said. “I encourage anyone interested in manufacturing to visit the web site and sign up for our email updates so we can keep everyone informed about our efforts to bolster American manufacturing and help put Americans back to work.”

“I am excited the House Manufacturing Caucus can now share our efforts to help protect American workers and employers through the website,” Ryan said. “Manufacturing is the foundation of our economy, so it is essential we do all that we can to strengthen and protect this vital American industry. This online resource will help us keep the public informed on our fight to support high-end, advanced manufacturing and create jobs.”

The new website includes a list of all caucus members with links to their Congressional web pages, along with lists of upcoming and past events with links to documents and speakers. It also has a “resources” section with links to government agencies and organizations vital to manufacturing. The “media center” offers news releases and articles on manufacturing from caucus members, and it also features links to the caucus’ pages on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

[WASHINGTON] Congressman Don Manzullo (R-Egan) was sworn in to a new 2-year term of office today, vowing to continue his ongoing efforts to strengthen our economy and put Americans back to work in 2009.

Manzullo, a leader in the battle to strengthen American manufacturing, will continue to serve on the House Financial Services Committee that has jurisdiction over our nation’s key economic issues and oversight of government bailout initiatives. Manzullo recently received major national media coverage during committee oversight hearings on the $700 billion Wall Street bailout and the rescue package for the Big 3 automakers.

Manzullo will also continue to serve on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where he is the lead Republican on the Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific and the Global Environment, and continually holds China’s feet to the fire to ensure the trade playing field is level for American manufacturers competing in the global marketplace.

Manzullo, who co-founded and co-chairs the House Manufacturing Caucus, will continue in the 111th Congress to represent more than 725,000 people who reside in the 16th Congressional District of Illinois. The district includes the counties of Boone, Winnebago, Stephenson, Jo Daviess, Ogle, Carroll, two-thirds of McHenry County, the top half of DeKalb County, and the top third of Whiteside County.

The people of northern Illinois and throughout our great country are hurting in these difficult economic times,” Manzullo said.

“I will continue this Congress to lead the mission to strengthen U.S. manufacturing, kick-start our economy and put Americans back to work. We can begin by giving Americans and employers tax incentives to buy vehicles to kick-start that sector of our economy and create new jobs for Americans.”
