    How to bring back jobs to the US

     

    1.  Limit purchasing  items  not  made  in  the  US.  Look on  this  site  to  find  a  list  of companies still  making  things in  the  US.   www.locateamerican.com Did you know  we have  a  company  in  the  US  that   makes  washing  machines and   several that  make  shoes, blankets......the  list  goes  one.  But we  have these  companies long  if  we  don't  support  them.  Even if  you don't  have  money to  buy  now,  you  can  still  help  put  the  word out  they  exist and  ask stores  to carry  the products.

     

    2.  Tell  stores  to  carry  these  items/products listed  in the  site  above  in their  stores.  If  they  don't...don't  shop  there.

     

    3.  Pass  the  word.

     

    4.  Demand  companies  use  the  everify  system.

     

    I  am  all  for  free  trade but, this has  gone  too far.  When  I  purcase  a  can  of  fruit  coctail and  the can has  "made  in  China"  on  it.    What's  next?  We  can't  sit back  and  point  fingers/blame until it  too  late.  American  workers  need  to  step up to the plate and  demand that  we  are given  the  opportunity to make  the  products  we  purchase.  At the  same  we need  to demand  American  companies  produce a safe  product( remember  the peanut  butter scare).
