Buy American

ONE LIGHT BULB AT A TIME…Buy American Made

This works when the dollar is weak and the people are afraid for their jobs.

Buy USA ……..

A physics teacher in high school, once told his students

“While one grasshopper on the railroad tracks
wouldn’t slow a train at all, 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 Lowes the other day,
and just for the heck of it,
I was looking at the hose attachments.
They were all made in China . (My swimming pool is not yet closed for the winter!!!)

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.

My son likes Hershey’s candy.
I noticed, though, that it is marked made in Mexico now.
I will 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
that 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 costs more money and is made in China .
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!

Lay’s stacked potato chips in a can is made in Mexico .

Good old Pringles made in USA .

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,
please pass this on to others 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 found this on a message board. It makes good sense to me. )
