I'm on my soapbox again!

Subject: We can chang this

   AND, don't use the self check-out; it puts people out of jobs.  If no one used them, they would take them out and put PEOPLE back on the registers...


This is worth reading!!  All the way to the bottom.  I am going to do what it suggests! I had no idea hershey's bars were not made here.  From now on, I will know where everything is made that I  buy.

 ACE HARDWARE - Made in the USA - Very Encouraging
                                READ ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM! LOTS OF GOOD INFO HERE!
 
                                Costco sells Goodyear wiper blades for almost Half the price that you Will    pay on the outside and they are made in the U.S.A.
                                Read and do the following.
 
                                Unfortunately our politicians and top CEO's (GE etc) have pushed for trade to China and
                                Mexico for years so Americans are now out of work. Did you Know that there is no
                                Electric coffee maker made in the US and that
                                The only kitchen appliances made in the US is
                                Viking?
 
                                I DIDN'T KNOW HALLMARK
                                CARDS WERE MADE IN CHINA ! That is also why I don't buy cards at Hallmark anymore, They are made in China and are More expensive!
                                I buy them at Dollar Tree - 50 cents each and made in USA
 
                                I have been looking at the blenders available on the Internet. Kitchen Aid is MADE IN the U.S.
 
                                Yesterday I was in Wal Mart looking for a
                                Wastebasket. I found some Made
                                In China for $6.99. I didn't want to pay that much so I Asked the lady if they had any others.
                                She took me to another department
                                And they had some at $2.50 made in USA . They are just as good. Same as a kitchen rug I needed. I had to look, but I found some made in
                                The USA - what a concept! - and they were $3.00 cheaper..
 
                                We are being brainwashed to believe that everything that comes from China and Mexico is cheaper. Not So.
 
                                I was in Lowe's the other day and just out of curiosity, I looked 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, people . . ...In our current
                                Economic situation, every Little thing
                                We buy or do affects someone else - most often, their Job.
 
                                My Grandson likes Hershey's candy. I noticed, though, that it is
                                Now Marked "made in Mexico ."
                                I don't buy it anymore.
 
                                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
                                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 them: they were the same
                                except for the price . . .
                                the GE bulbs cost more than the Everyday Value
                                Brand, but the thing that surprised me the most was the GE was Made in MEXICO
                                And the Everyday Value brand was made in - you guessed it - the USA at a company in Cleveland, Ohio .
 
                                It's Way past time to start finding and buying products you use everyday that are made right here.
 
                                So, on to the next Aisle: Bounce Dryer Sheets... Yep, you guessed it, Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada.
                                The Everyday Value Brand cost Less,
                                and was MADE IN THE USA ! I did laundry
                                yesterday AND the dryer sheets
                                performed just like the Bounce Free I have been
                                using for years, 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 neighbor's!
 
                                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 - you're sending the jobs there.
                                (We should have awakened a decade ago....)
 
                                Let's get with the program and help our fellow Americans
                                keep their jobs and create more jobs here in the USA .
 
 
Sorry about the way this article lined up but  I copied and pasted it and it would not let me make changes. I would have redone it completely but It takes time I do not have. I'm sure you will get the point.
