All of us make some type of New Year’s Resolutions. To help us promote the Buy American Made Campaign, I have listed a few resolutions to help businesses in America create more job opportunities and keep Americans employed. The following resolutions will provide long lasting benefits for American workers, America’s families and America’s economy. Kindly spread the word:
|
1.
|
Every time you’re out shopping, take the time to look at the labels to see exactly where the items are made. Consider if your purchase is helping American workers from the point of production to the point of sale, or are American workers simply serving as store personnel and cashiers. If you can’t find competitive American made items in one store, shop around to see if a selection of American made items is available elsewhere.
|
|
2.
|
Take a moment to ask the store personnel to direct you to the items they know are made in America and let them know you support products with American made labels. Asking store personnel for assistance and letting them know you support American made products has been a very effective way to spread the word about the Buy American Made Campaign.
|
|
3.
|
Shop as often as possible at local businesses in your community that feature a reasonable selection of American made items from food to clothing because you know first-hand they are keeping local people employed and also helping to keep your community vibrant.
|
|
4.
|
Make an effort to contact your family and friends and ask them to support the mission of the Buy American Made Campaign. Restoring no less than 50% of everything sold in America’s stores being made in America is a mission that will benefit many American workers.
|
I’m sure you can suggest many others, but just these few New Year’s Resolutions will add to the success of our campaign to increase jobs in the United States of America. When you’re out shopping remember to “Shop for and ask for items made in the U.S.A.” Best wishes to you and yours for a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.
