In recent years we have seen a growing commitment from our supporters who want to insure that more industries are expanded and created in the U.S.A. Through their purchasing power a growing number of Americans have been making it known that we CAN’T CONTINUE TO BE THE SALES POINT FOR FOREIGN MERCHANDISE, without having a reasonable selection of American made products for customers to choose from. After years of promoting no less than a 50% balance of what is sold in America being made in America, America’s consumers agree with our message and are speaking up and spending more of their dollars on items made and assembled in the U.S.A.

With your support, the Buy American Made Campaign seeks to restore a nation of multi-skilled workers with the capability of producing no less than 50% of the items presently sold in America. To make this happen supporters have been contacting national and local leaders and business owners. Our road has not been easy, and we realize that after 30 years of outsourcing and the loss of jobs for American workers, our efforts are a long walk up a steep hill. But as is often said, the journey of a thousand miles begins with the FIRST step.

As we work to make more positive changes come about, I encourage you to network with family, friends and neighbors and let them know which American made products you purchased lately and promote the stores where you purchased them. Businesses selling predominantly foreign made products must see that America’s consumers are walking away from their stores because they are not offering enough American made items to customers.

I urge you to stop and look at every label, and also listen closely to the responses of store managers when you ask them if they are seeking to feature a larger selection of American made items. At this point, everything depends on store owners interested in featuring more American made products and how the American people choose to spend their hard-earned dollars. Thanks for your participation and for spreading the word. Email me your comments and suggestions to: Michael@AmericanWorkersRadio.com.
