AUGUST 1st to Sept. 1st
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? You Can..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, come to think of it, instead of doing it for just 1 month why not try to do it all the time.

PS: Look at frozen fish and shrimp packages - news reports have been done in the past on antibiotics and filth that are in the Chinese shrimp farms and yuk! Americans are eating this filth.

I check out country of origin on everything I buy. Even food.

Last weekend, had to buy a new washer & dryer - got the GE made in Louisville, KY.

Let's put Americans back to work - WE CAN DO IT!

I don't eat shrimp unless they are wild from Florida or the Gulf. I no longer eat shrimp in a restaurant since I read that most shrimp are imported from China. I do not purchase food imported from China.

A lot of over the counter name brand medicines are imported. Some don't identify the country of origin. I wonder why OTC medicines are imported. These are not labor intensive, mostly done by machines.

Some years ago Kroger opened a super store in town. Looking through the store I came across frozen Sockeye Salmon, the best Salmon by far, product of USA, packaged in China. Make sense, not to me!

I'll stop buying Chinese just as soon as the US stops borrowing from them.

This is a good reminder. I would add that we also need to buy from business' that support the Christian cause when ever possible. Not just because they claim to be Christian but because their walk agrees with the talk.

We had a similar programme called Made In Britain. We try not to buy "Made In China" tat but it is very difficult to find anything else these days. We did manage to find a kettle made in Germany when ours needed to be replaced. Some many people are too complacent these days. I was disgusted to see that most of the Olympics stuff has the MIC on it too. I think that it should have been made here in the UK. When we visit the USA, we try only to by Made In America. I nearly bought a beautiful quilt once but on closer inspection I found the dreaded MIC label on it. Don't be afraid to tell the retailer. I have told many, including Cracker Barrel why I was not buying their goods.
