Subject: One light bulb at a time. Buy AMERICAN

This sounds like a GREAT IDEA!  Hope I can remember to do it rather than
just to GRAB like I often do.

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. 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 (can be true for any store).  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 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.
