Help us get things #MadeInAmericaAgain

Hi, I’m Jim Stuber.
I founded Made in America Again because having most of the things we buy made in China or somewhere else has taken a terrible toll on Americans, their families, and their communities.
We have been creating “job deserts” - neighborhoods and whole towns where there are no jobs to be had, because the factories stand empty. When the manufacturing jobs go away, then all the other jobs go away, and then the neighborhood literally goes away.
And it’s not just blue-collar jobs – white-collar jobs are being outsourced to India or China, or to someone imported from there. I counted up all those job losses in my book, What if Things Were Made in America Again.
All this unemployment has created downward pressure on wages across the board - We have created the first generation of Americans who are not better off than the previous.
We are destroying the American dream. And if we do nothing, more families and more communities will be destroyed.
But what to do?
Consumers, whose spending is 70 percent of the economy, can solve this problem. WE can turn this around, by bringing our spending home, and buying things made in American communities.
But to do that, we need to know where foreign products are made. When we are looking at a product on the Internet, more often than not this information is nowhere to be found.
At Made in America Again, we have mounted a campaign to change that.
We are pursuing enactment of a federal law that would require that descriptions of foreign-made products on the Internet prominently display the country where the product was made, and where its manufacturer is located.
Enactment of this law will empower Americans, as “citizen consumers” to use the power of our wallets to support communities across America, by buying products made in those communities instead of China or somewhere else.
We have made great progress, with bipartisan introduction of this bill in the Senate last year. We believe we can secure enactment of this law in the current Congress, which began in January.
But, much like missionaries, we need to “raise our support.” Your contribution will enable me and others working on this project to devote the legal and lobbying efforts necessary to get this bill passed.
So I hope you will consider this appeal, and join me in this effort (no contribution is too small, or, of course, too large), so sometime soon, you can join me in saying, “We got that bill passed.”
And in doing so, you will enable communities across America to say, “We make things here again.”
