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 Lowes 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
Yesterday and 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 U . S . A .
