Subject: Great Idea--Let's All Try  It!!

 
In our current economic situation, every thing we buy or do affects someone else and perhaps even their job.  I  don't know how  many households there are in the U.S. but if these were the only things we bought think of the impact.  After reading this email, I  think  this lady is on the right track.  Let's get behind  her!!   
 
(She  wrote:) 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 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 the USA by a company in Cleveland, Ohio. 
 
So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that are made right here in the USA, for less than what is made outside the USA. 
 
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 yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using for years and at almost half  the  price! 
 
So 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 China, Canada, Mexico, ect... 
 
(We  should have awakened decades 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 buy American all the time whenever possible, and that includes what I drive.  Now they are going to spend our tax dollars!  They need to buy American and hire Americans!

Buy American ... Buy local...  I always try to buy from a small businessmen as opposed to a big box chain.  More likely to get some business back from the local store...
