BUY AMERICAN "THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON"

This Christmas season try and buy American. I know that it is extremely difficult to find products that are made in America but, is is essential that we support American workers through these difficult times in the American economy. I am so, tired of taking a product off the self and finding that it was made in China. The United States Government "Sold Out" the Average American worker in the late 80's early 90's to the large American Corporations who wanted to move there manufacturing base to China. These free trade deals help destroy the American Manufacturing base in states like Ohio, South Carolina and Pennsylvania. I believe in free trade but, can we get a deal that is beneficial to the average American worker so, that they can have some job stability for the next ten years. The same companies who are standing in front of Congress today asking for a bailout are some of the same companies who supported the Free trade deal to China so, the they can get cheap labor. This is why I have no sympathy for any of these companies because, they had no regard for the average American worker and there families. The only time that these companies show economic patriotism is when they are standing in front of Congress asking for another bailout. Therefore, these large Corporations, did not care about the average American worker when they were making profits. Finally, we have to pull together to help each other through these struggling times and if you find a product that is made in America buy that product because, you might be saving a "Average American" worker there job.
