Buy American Products

AND REMEMBER COLGATE TOOTHPASTE IS MADE
IN MEXICO!

Did you all see that Diane Sawyer has a special report
coming up this week on this very subject. They removed ALL items from a
typical, middleclass family's home, that were not made in the USA. There
was hardly anything left besides the kitchen sink. Literally. During the
special they are going to show truckloads of items - USA made - being brought in to
replace everything. And will be talking about how to find these items and the
difference in price etc.

It was interesting that Diane said that if every American
spent just $64 (more than normal) on USA made items this year, it would
create something like 200,000 new jobs.

Made ME think!


I WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT WALMART.

ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID 'FROM CHINA'.

FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE
MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA'.

I WAS SHOCKED!! SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I
BOUGHT THE LIBERTY
GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE SINCE IT'S FROM CALIF.

TAKES FOREVER JUST TO BUY FOOD AND DO LABEL READING ! !

Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is
it that we just do not think? While the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally,export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets.

Yet 70% of Americans believe that the trading
privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.

Well, duh..why do you need the government to suspend
trading privileges?

SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA!!

Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy,
and if it says 'Made in China'or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong),simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.

Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you
must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example, the point is do not wait for the government to act.
Just go ahead and assume control on your own.


THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million
Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!!

The downside? Some American businesses will feel a
temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory.
Wahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!


The solution? Let's give them fair warning and
send our own message. Most of the people who have been reading about
this matter are planning on implementing this on March. 4th and
continue it until April. 4th That is only one month of trading
losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their American exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.

Remember, March. 4th to April. 4th (I AM GOING TO DO
THIS FROM MARCH 21 UNTIL APRIL 21, SINCE I JUST GOT THIS EMAIL)


START NOW.

Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that
we are Americans and NOBODY can take us for granted.


If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one
month out of our lives, WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!

Pass it on, America.

Dean and Gladys, this is a great subject!! I hope you post it in Facebook also. I have been label-reading for many years because of additives in our foods. Now, I will pay more attention to place of origin.

Thank you!

RE:More on Buying American Products actually Keeping American Jobs

Little things can make a big difference in rebuilding our country.





Any time you call an 800 number (for a credit card, banking, charter communications,
health and other insurance, computer help desk, etc)
and you find that you're talking
to a foreign customer service representative
(perhaps in India, Philippines, etc),please consider doing the following:


After you connect and you realize that the customer service representative is not
from the USA (you can always ask if you are not sure about the accent), please, very politely
(this is not about trashing other cultures) say, "I'd like to speak to a customer
service representative in the United States of America ."



The rep might suggest talking to his/her manager, but, politely say, "Thank you,
but I'd like to speak to a customer service representative in the USA ." YOU WILL
BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED TO A REP IN THE USA .
That's the rule and LAW.


It takes less than one minute to have your call re-directed to the USA.
Tonight when I got redirected to a USA rep, I asked again to make sure -
and yes, she was from Fort Lauderdale .

Imagine what would happen if every US citizen insisted on talking to only
US phone reps from this day on. Imagine how that would ultimately impact
the number of US jobs that would need to be created ASAP.
If I tell 10 people
to consider this and you tell 10 people to consider doing this - see what I
mean.... it becomes an exercise in viral marketing 101.


Remember - the goal here is to restore jobs back here at home - not to be
abrupt or rude to a foreign phone rep. You may even get correct answers,
good advice, and solutions to your problem - in real English.
