Since tens-of-millions of America’s consumers were helping promote the Buy American Made Campaign, we were seeing many positive changes in America’s economy. Unfortunately, the Coronavirus pandemic has slowed down our efforts because of the closure of businesses all over the United States, which led to a major rise in unemployment. However, with a return to some level of normalcy, everyone is urged to remain focused on supporting American workers and the businesses that employ them. As our supporters know, maintaining our goal has not been very easy because so much of what is sold in America is now foreign made. Additionally, during the last 35 years, we watched large portions of America’s manufacturing base relocate outside of America to escape the cost of operating a business in the United States. We saw trade agreements enacted that took more jobs out of America than were created for American workers. We saw school districts across America downsize or eliminate the trades and industrial arts programs that teach the skills needed by every sector of America’s businesses. Thanks for supporting the Buy American Made Campaign and for spreading the word about our efforts. This is Michael Blichasz.
