MAKES SENSE TO ME

Friends....In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or
do affects someone else and perhaps ever their job....
so after reading this email ... I think this lady is on the right track.
Let's get behind her!!

This may seem like a funny email but I was so surprised by what I
discovered I had to share it with you.

When I think of the job situation in this country, I can't help but think
this helps in some small way.

I don't know how many households there are in the U.S. but if these were
the only things we bought think of the impact....

She wrote:
This past weekend I was at Kroger. I needed 60 W light bulbs and Bounce
dryer sheets. I was in the light bulb aisle and right next to the GE brand
I normally buy was an off brand labeled "Everyday Value." I picked up both
types of bulbs and compared the stats - they were the same except for the
price. The GE bulbs were more money than the Everyday Value brand but the
thing that surprised me the most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO
and the Everyday Value brand was made in - get ready for this - the USA .

So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that
are made right here - from a company in Cleveland OH !

So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets....yep you guessed it Bounce
was more money and made in Canada, the Everyday Value brand was less money
and MADE IN THE USA ! I did laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets
performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using for years and at
almost half the price!

So my challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for
everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA - the
job you save may be your own or your neighbors!

If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address book
so we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time!

Besides, you might save a little green in the process. Stop buying from
China .......... We should have awakened a
decade ago...... lets get with the program.... help our fellow Americans
keep their jobs ... and create more jobs here in the U.S.A
