When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe...Luke 11:21
One Light Bulb at a Time
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. 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!

Todd's challenge here: If this doesn't wake us up nothing will ? I have been an Electrical contractor in the state of California for 16 years and I frequently buy supplies from both Home Depot and Lowes. Slowly but surely I started noticing the replacement of name brands with unknowns especially from Lowe's. Come to find out, just about every product in Lowes is made in China. We are definitely being sold out and without restating the obvious from the article above; we need to stop this nonsense. For starters, we need to boycott Lowes. They are the most guilty for ruining jobs for us and this is treason to our American Culture and we need to take a stand against such chains like this that defeat our once precious way of life on American soil. Just SAY NO to China Products !! Please have a voice to defend America before we lose everything to offshore production and ultimately we become the highest unemployed nation in the world!!!
