The alliance, which plans to announce its formation today in newspaper and online advertisements, asserts that the decline of manufacturing undercuts America’s long-term competitiveness, its research capabilities and its ability to produce sophisticated weapons needed for national security.

The group also plans to focus on health policy because of concerns that high health costs have hurt American competitiveness.

Another focus will be energy policy; for example, the group may examine ways to produce renewable energy in a way that creates manufacturing jobs.
