Americans are united for change

Because so many Americans are united for change it has helped the Buy American Made Campaign message make a strong impact on the way America’s businesses are looking to manufacture more in the United States. What does that mean for us?

It means our fellow Americans are hearing how new jobs and job skills would add to the well-being of American workers and America’s economy.

It means that with more jobs and job skills and employment opportunities, we would see more products with American-made labels and see more Americans able to earn a living based on their skills.

It means that Americans see the benefit of more industrial arts training, also known as trades programs, growing in America’s schools to meet the needs of America’s businesses for skilled workers.

It means that in addition to service-oriented jobs, a growing number of jobs in manufacturing, industrial arts, the trades, management, shipping and receiving, as well as research and development and sales, would expand employment opportunities here in the United States of America.

The important thing is that Americans want to see at least a 50-50 balance of products sold in stores and on the internet available with “Made in America” labels.

Now that we are more united for change and see changes happening, let’s keep the movement going strong by getting more people involved so business owners and investors see that America’s consumers will reward American-based businesses by supporting their products and services.

Thanks for promoting our efforts to your family and friends. Email your suggestions to Michael@AmericanWorkersRadio.com.

Praying for peace

Sometimes it is hard to tell which disaster is worse in a world filled with so many. Of course we are all upset by scenes of the unimaginable fire destruction in California. Whole communities have been devastated by unprecedented conflagration, and countless families are now homeless. So heartbreaking to watch, even as we hail the many hero firefighters who have faced the flames to save lives including the countless pets they are still rescuing.

Meanwhile the most recent in a series of armed conflicts between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militants has been going on in the Gaza Strip and Israel since October of 2023. The death toll has been staggering.

But now there is continuing talk about a cease-fire and the release of hostages including Americans. This is only the beginning of peace talks. Given the years of conflict between Israel and Palestine, it is hard to predict what will happen next.

There are ways to fix these incredible disasters in our world. We do not need to tolerate endless fires or wars. We need to find solutions that make our world safer for all living things. 

Please, let’s pray that the next generation lives in a better world where the environment is protected and all life is saved from these needless tragedies.
