Costco
sells Goodyear wiper blades for almost
half the price that you will pay

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

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

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

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

their job.

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...)

Americans keep their

If you care about
American workers, you will pass it on .
