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.

 

In   our current  economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects someone else - possibly even their job. Our challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for  everyday things and purchase items that are made in the USA. Support our country's manufacturers, which in turn supports us all. 

An easy example: Colgate toothpaste is made in    Mexico. Crest is made in the USA. GE lightbulbs are made in Mexico, however many generic everyday value bulbs are made in our country. And they are often less expensive, so how sweet is that? Your favorite Hershey's candy could be made in Mexico, not in Hershey, Pennsylvania! Who would have guessed? Safeway's brand of dish liquid, Softsoap hand soap, Green Works cleaning products... all made in the USA. It may not seem like a big impact when you are purchasing dish soap, but if MILLIONS of us purchased only "Made in USA" products, the impact could be huge.
