Thought this was worth sharing with the gang .........
One Light Bulb at a Time
A physics teacher in high school, once told the students that while one grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't slow a train very much, a billion of them would.
With that thought in mind, read the following, obviously written by a good American.
Good idea . . . one light bulb at a time . . .
Check this out. I can verify this because I was in Lowes the other day - I was looking at the hose attachments. They were all made in China . The next day I was in Ace Hardware, and just for the heck of it, I checked the hose attachments there. They were made in USA .
Start looking --- In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects someone else - even their job. So, after reading this email, I think this lady is on the right track. Let's get behind her!
My grandson likes Hershey's candy. I noticed, though, that it is marked made in Mexico now. I do not buy it any more..
My favorite toothpaste, Colgate is now made in Mexico . I have switched to Crest.
You have to read the labels on everything . . .
This past weekend I was at Kroger. I needed 60 Watt light bulbs and dryer sheets. I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next to the GE brand that I normally buy was an off-brand labeled, "Everyday Value". I picked up both brands of bulbs and compared the stats - they were the same, except for the price. The GE bulbs were more money than the Everyday Value brand - - - but the thing that surprised me the most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in - get ready for this - the USA, in a company in Cleveland, Ohio.
So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets . . . . . yep, you guessed it, Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada . The Everyday Value brand was less money and MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using for years and at almost half the price!
So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that are made right here. My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA - the job you save may be your own or your neighbors!
If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address book so we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time! (We should have awakened a decade ago!)
Let's get with the program . . . help our fellow Americans keep their jobs and create more jobs here in the U.S.A.
Pass this on . .

Got this email and it was from here in Maryland : My neighbor is a "lefty" of sorts (Obama bumper stickers, gung-ho socialized medicine, "guns should be banned", etc.). So this past spring I put this sign up in my yard after one of his anti-gun rants at a neighborhood cocktail party. The sign wasn't up more than an hour before he called the police and wanted them to make me take down the sign. Fortunately, the officer politely informed him that it was not their job to take such action without a court order and that he had to file a complaint "downtown" , which would be reviewed by the city attorney to see if it violated any ordinances. If there were a violation a court order would be sent to "remove the sign in seven days". After several weeks he was informed that the sign was legal (by a quarter of an inch) and there was nothing the city could do, which obviously made him madder. I tried to smooth things over by inviting him to go shooting with me and my friends at the hunt club. That seemed to make him more angry. I then asked him if he wanted to go to a Tea Party rally. He declined. I am at a loss how to reconcile our long relationship (notice I did not say friendship), any suggestions would be welcome. Maybe I'll ask him to go deer hunting, which opens up November 1st. You know, just a bunch of guys running through the woods chasing Bambi, then sitting around the campfire roasting marshmallows, drinking cocoa, and singing our favorite country songs to the accompaniment of Jake's harmonica (he's a better lawyer than a harmonica player, but don't tell him). Anyway, that's life in our neck of the woods, how are you? see sign below---

I've seen that one going around, I like it. I would never get a chance to use the guns, they are locked up in the gun safe's. My buddy Dozer likes to lay out in the drive and watch people. Funny thing, they usually get a house away and then detour around our property and then cut back. Go figure.
