Let’s keep American Workers in American Jobs producing American Products

To do this will require everyone’s effort. The next American worker to lose his or her job to an overseas company may be your neighbor, a relative, or worse…it may be you! Please encourage your family, friends, and co-workers to Buy American.

In an average year, the US spends at least $100 billion importing Chinese-manufactured goods while exporting only $16 billion in US-made goods to China. In fact, the US imports roughly 40-50% of all of China’s export goods. And, while US firms invested $2.2 billion in China during the first month of 2001, there were 271,000 jobs lost in the US. The US economy lost another 271,000 jobs in the second quarter of 2001. In June of that year, 114,000 jobs were lost. The trends for 2002 aren’t any better.

We, as Americans, need to make a change in the way we buy. We need to make a conscious effort to purchase American-made products whenever possible. We must promote and patronize US companies. Please, this holiday season and all year round, encourage family, friends, employees, and co-workers to make a concerted effort to buy American to keep Americans working. 

The "Made In USA" label has always represented quality and craftsmanship to consumers. It’s time we Americans wake up and show loyalty to our fellow countrymen, a practice so many other countries in the world already use. They care about themselves. We need to care about ourselves. To make America strong, we need strong companies and strong people. It’s time to support the companies and people working in this country. BUY AMERICAN!!! Please, make a conscious effort to support US manufacturers and American workers. With an unemployment rate of 5.6%, it’s more important than ever to buy American-made goods to help keep Americans working. Let’s do what we can to turn the statistics back in the favor of the American worker. By making the effort to buy American products, who knows whose job you might save, whose holiday you might brighten… Especially, look the Union label.
