AMEN and AMEN to both of you. I look to see where something is made before buying it. If a can of something is made in Argentina and another can is made in Spain, I buy the one made in Spain. I've often wondered why Americans put their money in foreign banks. Don't they want to support America with their money? I know I'm naïve but just wondering.

Linda walking a lot more these days and enjoying it ----- Original Message ---- From: Belle Shepherd <belleshep@cox.net<mailto:belleshep@cox.net>> Ithink we should avoid buying anything made in a foriegn country regardless of the need and cost. Every lost sale, enough of them will get the message through the blockhead store managers. No sales, no reorder, no incoming shipment from a foriegn country. When they realize that the unwanted goods is not selling, only taking up shelf and counter space that should be used for American made products. We need to have more "don't buy gas days." Wonder what the Saudis would do with all that oily sand should the glut hit the market and sales were cut back considerably? We all need to do what we can,though it be in a snall way, to get this country back on its feet. Refusing to buy foriegn goods is a start. Driving less is another way. Belle
