Do It Yourself Americans

AUGUST 1ST to SEPTEMBER 1st, 2011

Well over 50 yrs ago I knew a lady who would not buy Christmas gifts if they
were made in China . Her daughter will recognize her in the following.

Did y'all see Diane Sawyer's special report a few weeks ago? They removed ALL
items from a typical, middle class family's home that were not made in the USA .

There was hardly anything left besides the kitchen sink. Literally. During the
special they showed truckloads of items - USA made - being brought in to replace
everything and talked about how to find these items and the difference in price
etc..

It was interesting that Diane said if every American spent just $64 more than
normal on USA made items this year, it would create something like
200,000 new jobs!

I WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT WALMART and ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT
SAID 'FROM CHINA '


FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN
'FROM CHINA '

I WAS SHOCKED SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE
DOLE SINCE IT'S FROM CALIF.

Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not
think. The Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic
products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets.


70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese
should be suspended.

Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges? DO IT YOURSELF,
AMERICA !!

Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in
China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply choose another
product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese
products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.

Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones
and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example. The point is do not
wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.

THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million Americans each refuse to buy just $20 of
Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our
favor...fast!!

Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on
implementing this on Aug. 1st and continue it until Sept. 1st. That is only one
month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or
8%, of their American exports. Then they might have to ask themselves if the
benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.

Remember, August 1st to Sept. 1st !!!!!! START NOW.

Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are Americans and
NOBODY can take us for granted.

If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives, WE
DESERVE WHAT WE GET!

Pass it on, America ...
