Anouncement

I am giddy to anounce the official launch of American Craftsman Glass with the official filing of Federal papers today and State tomorrow. A golden egg has been layed in my lap to nourish and grow. I pray that I can deliver for a line of customers already lining up with the honesty and integrity needed to be successful.
Wish me luck my friends!

Last Monday, the Romney campaign held its first major fund-raising event, a high-powered call-a-thon that pulled in $6.5 million. It demolished not only the modern record for political donations raised in a single day, but the paradigm of what a campaign fund-raiser can be. Instead of inviting several hundred supporters to a $1,000-a-head dinner, Romney invited several hundred political and financial all-stars -- eminentoes like Governor Matt Blunt of Missouri and eBay chief executive Meg Whitman -- to spend a day working their Rolodexes and dialing for dollars. Unlike a typical boiler-room operation run out of a hole-in-the-wall, Romney's "National Call Day" was staged in a giant convention center, with old and new media on hand to record all the action.

All in all, it was a remarkable display of confidence, smarts, and organization. It suggested, as Boston blogger Dean Barnett put it, "that the Romney campaign, like his business career, will be marked by innovation. The Romney campaign won't be relying on techniques that were moldy back when David Letterman was actually funny. . . As he has done throughout his career, Mitt Romney will build a better mousetrap.
