Violence a way of life for some

We certainly live in a violent world. For many years, people have fought for tougher gun laws. Rightly so.

But now knives have become a weapon of choice. What has happened to the person behind such weapons.

Many theories, many questions. There may be answers, but no solutions. For some, violence is a way of life, no matter what the outcome is.

Make cell phones in America

Over 300 million Americans, or 97% of the American people, have a cell phone and use it daily. Although the first cell phone was made in the United States, foreign countries quickly came forward to offer the mass production of the cell phone at a lower cost and now 90% of all cell phones sold in America are made in foreign countries. America’s manufacturers should have immediately focused on making cell phones in America since the cell phone was invented and first made in the United States.

Thirty years ago, they stated the cell phone industry would employ millions of American workers as production grew. During the last 30 years, Americans were mainly employed installing cell phone towers and operating stores for people to come in and purchase cell phone services. Today, the research and development of new products and services are done by foreign employees, while Americans are customers of cell phones and other products first invented and made in America.

At first it was thought only a small portion of the cell phones would be made overseas with the majority being made in America. However, we now see how this one product has caused a major loss of jobs for American workers and a major loss to America’s economy. The key to this message is the American people need to help American workers by focusing more of their buying power on products made and serviced by American workers.

One important way our supporters have been helping the American-made cause is by looking for and asking for American-made products, and by making their concerns known to the managers and store personnel where we shop. The goal of the Buy American Made Campaign is not to lose the production of any more products presently made in the United States to foreign manufacturers who continue to look for every way possible to keep their people employed.

Kindly spread our message to your family and friends. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.
