Fw: August 1st to Sept. 1st.

If the government is going to continue to add to our debt - we as AMERICANS need to show them how to take care of it.  Let's see how well we can do in just 30 days.  Pass it on:)     . AUGUST 1st  to  Sept. 1st  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?  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 ...   Well instead of doing it for just 1 month why not try to do it all the time.
