FREE AMERICA - BUY LOCAL (1-8-2010 copyright date)
Every city and town in our country, no matter how big or how small, must begin a “buy local” campaign directed at the American Business & the Consumer. The rebirth of our nation depends on it! With websites all across the country spreading these very words, we are beginning to heed these words but it won't be easy... we need to do more!
We can all push - each and everyone we know, to become more conscious in our buying decisions because every time we buy from a store that supplies products from offshore we are giving away the jobs we need right here in America!
By making these buying decisions we can begin to break the chains of high unemployment and bring back the 'Made in America" businesses that made America great! Our slogan could be "FREE AMERICA - BUY LOCAL". It could happen, it needs to happen!
If the USA only purchased 50% of it's product needs off shore & the other 50% is purchased here in this country, then manufacturing plants would have to be built here.
Have you ever wondered where most of the products that we purchase come from... read the following story about how News-Times reporter Vinti Singh asked these very same question in a story called "(Not) Made in China" and you will find out just how BAD it is becoming right here in the good old USA!!! http://www.newstimes.com/local/article/Not-Made-in-China-842365.php#page-2
Ask yourself these questions before you purchase your next item; Where is it made? What is it made out of? Do I really need it or is it just something that I want... and if so, is there a manufacturer here in America that I can buy it from? Please understand, the fair trade agreement is important but it does not mean that we must buy everything from another country! We need to change this way of thinking, TODAY!
Go on the prowl for an American Manufacturer and you will soon see the need for a products Still Made In The U.S.A.!!!! http://www.stillmadeinusa.com/
This concept can literally turn America around so spread the word, tell everyone you know about this and together, we can change the direction, that our America is heading!
We, as a country have to become supportive of our nation's needs right here at home before our country is buying everything off shore!
Support redevelopment in our country, "Spread the word that we want to work in our country & buy from our country" ... it's the only way we are going to survive!
DiscoverDecaturIL.com support's local growth which will then support state growth, and finally support our nation's growth. Get on board today, send your friends and family here and help us spread the word!
It is our hope that we can inspire and promote the communities in the Midwest by changing the mindset of everyone across the land. Today's news coverage contains so much negativity and drama about the failure of our cities and towns. Together we can make a change for the better, This can be a step in the right direction.
This effort will, we hope, change our country, town by town and city by city. I invite everyone to look at The Evergreen Cooperatives , this is just one example of what is possible when a new model of economic development comes to town. FREE AMERICA - BUY LOCAL
Be sure to look at RustWire.com It's an intriguing site that focuses on what we can learn from each other.

There is some great information here, and it shows all of us what they are doing to turn their problems into positive solutions.
