WE SHOULD BUY AMERICAN!!
This article is a repost from an email a friend
sent, I find it very interesting, but could or would we American do this to save our country??
AUGUST 1st to Sept.
1st
Well over 50 yrs ago I knew a lady who would not buy Christmas gifts if they were made in China. Her
daughter will recognize her in the following.
Did y'all see Diane Sawyer's special report?
They removed ALL items from a typical, middle class family's home that were not made in the USA .
There was hardly anything left besides the kitchen sink. Literally. During the
special they showed truckloads of items - USA made - being brought in to replace everything
and talked about how to find these items and the difference in price etc..
It was interesting that Diane said if every American spent just $64 more than normal on
USA made items this year, it would create something like
200,000 new jobs!
I WAS BUYING
FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT WALMART and 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.
Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think. The Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic
products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets.
70% of Americans believe that the trading
privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended
Why do you need the
government to suspend trading privileges? 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 each refuse to buy just $20 of Chinese goods, that's a billion
dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!!
Most of the people who have been reading about
this matter are planning on implementing this on Aug. 1st and continue it until Sept.
1st. 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 might have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.
Remember, August 1st to Sept. 1st !!!!!! 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 ....
Well instead of doing it for just 1 month why not try to do it all the time.
