One Light Bulb at a Time
 
 A physics teacher in high school, once told the
 
 students that while one grasshopper 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 ....
