Have you seen this? It's a good idea. Please pass along....

I have been checking labels some but I'm going to do more now. We'll all benefit in the long run.

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

My grandson likes Hershey's candy. It is marked made in Mexico now.
I do not buy it any more. My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in
Mexico now. have switched to Crest. You have to read the labels on everything.

This past weekend I was at Kroger. I needed 60W 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 in a company in Cleveland, Ohio.

So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day
that are made right here.

So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets....yep, you guessed it,
Bounce cost more money and is 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!
Stop buying from China ...and Mexico.

(We should have awakened a decade ago......)
Let's get with the program.... help our fellow Americans keep their
jobs and create more jobs here in the U.S.A.!!!

Thanks,
In His Service
