Buy American



I think we are all wondering at the moment what we as individuals can do to help pull our wonderful country out of this economic mess. As individuals we are not powerless. We are the most powerful force imaginable. Here is what I am doing in my own small way to help.
I am reading labels. Everything from toothpaste to clothes and trying to purchase as many things made in this country as possible. You might assume that that means paying more but don't assume, check it out because often that isn't the case or perhaps a few cents more. I got started on the quest watching the ABC News special series called Made in America. http://abcnews.go.com/WN/MadeInAmerica/

We need to encourage and support things made in this country if we hope to help create jobs, employ more people and boost our economy out of the crapper. It's up to us as individuals, not the government to help solve this mess. You can do your part. You can be part of the solution.
