Go to the link to take action

Write to the President and Congress
Stop China’s Currency Manipulation

According to a new report by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), since China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, 2.4 million jobs have been lost or displaced in the U.S. as a result of the burgeoning trade deficit with that nation.

Click here to see the damage that has occurred in your Congressional District using an interactive map prepared by the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM).

Tell the President and Congress to stand up for American manufacturing in the face of China's currency manipulation and other unfair trade practices.
Buy American, the job you save just might be your own.

I think the best solution to this problem is to just quit buying chit from China and quit supporting the places that promote or stock their majority of items from China. Unfortunately they are still RED and our govt is so deeply in debt to them they don't want to pi$$ them off. God help us if they get angry and call the debt. Who is gonna wipe our butts then? :|


BTW, thanks for posting that link E, it's an eye opener for sure! Emailing it to all my friends.

I know you are :ymapplause: There are so many tho that just do not have the time or resources to seek the alternative. :(


I would bet if someone opened a factory here in the U.S. and were guaranting full time jobs with insurance, there would be many who would take less than they thought they were worth per hour prior to the recession! ;)
