	One Light Bulb at a Time 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 .. 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 in Canada . The Everyday Value brand was less money and MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry yesterdayand 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 USA I Passed this on ........ will you??????? -- God Bless You, Mahlon Grube http://www.BestJerkyEver.com Have a Great Day, unless you've made other plans!

	We are losing our life style ! We are losing our Country ! by buying things from all these other countries ... I am getting obsessive about reading labels. We got new uniform shirts this month ... guess what not made in USA ... made in Haiti ... I have picked up several things recently that said made in CANADA ???? Canada has very obnoxious restrictions about anything imported from other countries ... but they can export to us ... I don't want anything from Mexico ... unless it is something original of theirs like that drink that starts with a J ??? Jarmel or something my son buys occasionally ...that I don't mind but WTF our Hersey Candy Bars ! Who wants OUR FAMOUS CANDY being made in Mexico ! I get my Gas from Walmart which has Arkansas gas Murphy Oil .... but I hardly shop at Walmart anymore ... I do HEB Groceries ... who are TEXAS proud .. it is a riot ! Linda
