Made in the USA

ACE HARDWARE - Made in the     
USA - Very Encouraging

READ ALL THE WAY TO     
THE BOTTOM!
LOTS OF GOOD INFO HERE!

Costco
sells Goodyear wiper blades for almost
half the price that you will pay
on the outside and they are made in
the U.S.A. Read and do the following.

Unfortunately our      
politicians and top CEOs have
pushed for trade to China and Mexico
for years so Americans are now out of
work.

Did You Know that there is no     
electric coffee maker
made in the US and that the only
kitchen appliances made in the US is
Viking? This information came from
the a report by Diane Sawyer. Hopefully this has
changed or will soon!!

I DIDN'T KNOW HALLMARK       
CARDS WERE MADE IN CHINA
That's why I don't buy
cards at Hallmark anymore, They are
Made in China and are more expensive!
I buy them at Dollar
Tree - 50 cents each and made in USA

I have been looking at     
the blenders available on the
Internet. Kitchen Aid
is MADE IN THE USA. Top of my list
already...

Yesterday I was in     
Wal-Mart looking for a
wastebasket. I found some Made
In China for $6.99. I didn't want to
pay that much so I asked the lady
if they had any others. She took
me to another department and they
had some at $2.50 made in USA. They are
just as good.. Same as a kitchen rug I
needed. I had to look, but I found some Made in
The USA - what a concept! - and they were $3.00
cheaper.

We are being     
brainwashed to believe that everything that
comes from China and Mexico is cheaper. Not so.

One Light Bulb at A Time.

I was in Lowe's the     
other day and just out of curiosity, I looked
at the hose attachments. They were all
Made in China. The next day I was in Ace Hardware and just for the heck of it I checked the hose
attachments there. They were made in USA

Start looking, people     
. ...In our current economic
situation, every little thing we
buy or do affects someone else - most often,
their job.

My grandson likes       
Hershey's candy. I noticed, though, that it is
now marked "Made in Mexico." I don't buy it
anymore.

My favorite toothpaste     
Colgate is made in Mexico ...now I
have switched to Crest.

You have to read       
the labels on everything.

This past weekend I was at Kroger. I needed
60W light bulbs and Bounce dryer
sheets. I was in the light bulb
aisle, and right next to the GE
brand I normally buy -- was an
off-brand labeled,
"Everyday  Value." I picked up both types of
bulbs and compared them: they were the same
except for the price . .. .the GE bulbs
cost more than the Everyday Value
Brand, but the thing that surprised
me the most was that that GE was
Made in MEXICO and the Everyday
Value brand was made in - you guessed
it - the USA at a company in
Cleveland, Ohio.

It's way past time to start     
finding and buying products
you use every
day that are made right Here.

So, on to the next       
aisle: Bounce dryer sheets. Yep,
you guessed
it, Bounce cost more
money and is made in Canada. The
Everyday Value Brand cost less, and was MADE IN
THE USA! I did laundry
yesterday and the dryer sheets performed
just like the Bounce Free I have been
using for years, at almost half the price.

My challenge to you     
is to start reading the labels when
you shop for everyday things and
see what you can find that is Made
In the USA -
The job you save may be your own or your
neighbor's!

If you accept the     
challenge, pass this on to others
in your address book so we can all
start buying American, one light bulb at a
time!

Stop buying from       
overseas companies - you're
sending the jobs there.
(We should have awakened a decade
ago...)

Let's get with the      
program and help our fellow
Americans keep their
jobs and create more jobs here in the
USA
