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 Chin

a .. 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!
