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.
