One Light Bulb at a Time



A physics teacher in high school once told the students that while one grasshoper on the railroad

Tracks wouldn't slow a train very much, a billion of them would. With that thought in mind, read

The following, obviously written by a good American.

Good idea . . . One light bulb at a time .
. . .



Check this out . I can verify this because I was

In Lowes the other day for some reason and just

For the heck of it I was looking at the hose

Attachments . They were all made in China . The next day I was in Ace Hardware and just

For the heck of it I checked the hose attachments

There .. They were made in USA . Start looking .



In our current economic situation, every little

Thing we buy or do affects someone else - 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 . I noticed, though, that it is marked made in Mexico now .

I do not buy it any more . My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico now . I have switched

To Crest .. You have to read the labels on everything .



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 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!



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 overseas companies!



(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 herb

 

All the "name" brands are outsourcing there **** to China and any other country BESIDES the USA. Greed got the better of everyone.

 

this is cool i will start

 

go cleveland!

our electric company decided it was gonna send everyone 2 free cfl's and charge us for the electricity we would save using them upfront.. makes sense right? glad that didn't happen

 

Those two bulbs were made overseas and full of mercury like all CFL bulbs and are more hazardous to the environment than a truck load of incandescent bulbs . I for one won't buy a damn thing made or marketed my GE. GE is to entrenched with the current administration and is pushing the "global warming" hoax so they can produce "green" products in China to sell here.

 

 

I remember working for a (no names) company before that produced small runs of product here but had all the major production volume handles in mexico... so mexico messed up a bunch and sent us a few truckloads of product back to be fixed.. basically a label change, we removed the cover, placed a new label over the old one. then pulled off the made in mexico sticker and put on the made in usa one.. why? because it was disassembled (pull a cover off and replace) and then assembled... counted as final assembly in USA so the sticker had to be put on..

just something you may not know that happens way to often.. those generic bulbs may have a label put on here and dropped in a box and that counts as final assembly and gets made in USA


what I think we need is a sticker that says "manufactured in USA" !!

 

buy everything you can american
