This is news to me. AFAIK, US Battery, Trojan, and East Penn (at least)
all
have manufacturing plants in the US.

technology led to expansive growth throughout the 1980s and 1990s. The
company
is now the largest manufacturing employer in Berks County and has been
recognized with many awards. Currently, East Penn has a 490+ acre plant
site,
the largest in its industry, and over two million square feet under roof."

I believe in an America where the separation of church and state
is absolute ... where no minister would tell his parishoners for
whom to vote, where no church or church school is granted any
public funds or political preference ... where no religious body
seeks to impose its will ... upon the general populace or the public
acts of its officials.
