A physics teacher in high school once told the students that while one grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't slow a train very much, a billion of them would. With that thought in mind, read the following, obviously written by a good American.
Good idea .... one light bulb at a time ....
Check this out. I can verify this because I was in Lowe's the other day for some reason and just for the heck of it I was looking 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. (note here: earlier this week, RZ was in Lowes looking for a sprinkler head. Looked at RainBird and Looked at Orbits. RainBird is made inMexico ; Orbits in the USA . Orbits purchased!!)
In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects someone else - even their job . So, after reading this email, I think this lady is on the right track. Let's get behind her!
My grandson likes Hershey's candy. I noticed, though, that it is marked made in Mexico now. I do not buy it any more.
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 60 W 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 the stats - they were the same except for the price. The GE bulbs were more money than the Everyday Value brand but the thing that surprised me the most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in - get ready for this - the USA in a company in Cleveland, Ohio.
So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that are made right here.
So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets. Yep, you guessed it... Bounce cost more money and is made inCanada . The Everyday Value brand was less money and MADE IN THE USA ! I did laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using for years and 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 neighbors!
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!
We should have awakened a decade ago.
Let's get with the program. Help our fellow Americans keep their jobs and create more jobs here in the U.S.A.
I Passed this on. Will you?
sheeees how big are the keys on dat keyboard?
LOL
I know, I know.
I thought about it and left the formatting to see what would happen.
Probably won’t get read.
Ding dong.
Great post, yes, I will pass it on.
So where was our President made, do we turn him upside down to look for the label? From his actions I would say he was molded in a muslim country and shipped here. We need some truth in advertising on our CINC. Maybe we should file a complaint with the FTC and they will tell us as the SCOTUS and Congress don’t seem interested.

Latest trick is to put Made for ABC Co. Akron, OH USA and is small letters Mexico, China etc.

Of course no company would every lie about where their product was made.
But Florida sugar farmers thought they needed protection from cheap imported sugar and our elected representatives gave them that.
So lots of candy companies had to move out of the USA, because their #1 ingredient was ARTIFICIALLY too expensive.
But I guess losing Hershey's, Mother's Cookies, See's Candies, etc is a small price to pay to make sure we grow sugar right here in the USA for more than it is worth on the world market!
Worse, the tariffs on imported sugar were sold to credulous Americans as being putting America First, Saving Jobs (dey took er yobs!), etc, etc.
Gee, who’da thunk that you could get chocolate made in Mexico? Isn’t just about all cacao grown in Mexico?
Well, to tell you the truth, they ripped the labels off him in violation of Federal Law.
Probably need agent Mulder to get the bottom of this.
I’ve been doing that for years, Vendome.
Even if I have to pay more, I’d rather buy things made in the USA.
I just wish that instead of fine print, they would have a big, beautiful American flag stamped on the packages things made here.
It would sure make it a lot easier for me.
I’d be afraid of what might fall off. Most of that Chinese stuff isn’t screwed together very well.
ROFLMAO
Luckily I don’t care for sweets or desserts and I don’t like chocolate.
Reduce the size of the letters to default and the length to a paragraph.
They use to do that at Walmart but now they are too big to care about the founders values.
