Do it now before we have a irreversible rise in fascism and totally loose our country to foreign control!
If there is to be a change the people must awake and replace the current house and senate members in 2010 who vote the socialist agenda. If the electorate does not engage and solicit for candidates who are small goverment, low tax, strong defense, then we as a country will lose our Constitution and the American way of life. It is being taken away from us, even now as we protest the inept and diabolical behavior of Congress. The ballot box is the most powerful weapon the Americans have at our disposal. Low taxes and small government will be the only long-lasting way to grow American manufacturing.
One of the FEW responsibilities that Congress is Constitutionally charged with is: Art I, Sect 8, clause 3, "To regulate commerce with foreign nations, ..." Congress gets an F in this area. Our Trade deficits have been exploding by 50 to 100 BILLION $ per year for far too long. The notion of a new world market is a thinly veiled reason to allow our manufacturing jobs to go overseas - we have always been involved in world competition - ALWAYS. Congress has simply been bought off by our big international corporations.
If we truly want to explode real manufacturing jobs that create wealth in our country and greatly expand a positive trade surplus, Congress should replace our present tax system with the Fair Tax and repeal the 16th Amendment - NOT just add a hidden Value Added tax. This would allow our corporations to sell their goods overseas at a 20-20% discount over todays prices.
Out of control Congressional spending outside of their Constitutional authority in conjunction with unconstitutional regulation is the real root cause of our nation's problems!!!!!

I worked for a co.that designed and manufactured automated systems for the window mfg.industry.I actually thought it a viable compromise to have base units built in China for us to modify to customer specs. This project might have succeeded to benefit all had the process been implemented more cautiously and with better communication. This division is gone now-perhaps much scrap metal hauled away? But who knows for sure what brought my favorite employer down. I do wonder, however, if 'cross-mfg.'? might be a consideration to improve upon, rather than resist altogether.
keep work at home..we should not be fleecing America.

We must find ways to compete globally, with Made In America meaning something like it did after WW II ...
Manufacture American and Buy American.
If you want to save this country-this is one of the huge pieces of the solution. I am concerned about the eventually take over and buy out by China. We can get our country back! Please contact me if you need help!
Manufacturing was instrumental in making the USA a super power. Way too many college grads don't know the real manufacturing processes and don't care to learn. Many rather not get their hands dirty. The automotive industry saved this country during WWII. The present state of world problems makes me wonder who will supply the weapons to the USA when we need them. Can't depend on our Allies! Wake up USA Mfg is our backbone!

i lost my manufacturing shop do to over seas trade..and the poor economy . help us dp something to keep our jobs here..i now work for a place that is sending out 1/2 or its production to mexico.. what the hell?
Manufacturing is the back bone of economy in any country. we gave away our technologies and prosperities. How do we level the playing field for american workers?
a friend of mine died from contaminated batch of medicine for his dialysis treatment from china. how can we allow sub standard products from countries that don't have the same constraints as we do into our country. protect us.
renegotiate all trade agreements
cut funding for epa
why are you set on destroying the greatest contry on GODS green earth
stand up for the american workers this new year, bring and keep our jobs in america. that would be a great and welcomed CHANGE.
Fiat money without value added manufacturing is counterfiting.
Not only is the government taking away American jobs, they are allowing us to be poisoned by the monopoly of products being sent here from China.
Manufacturing People, were the wage earners that bought things and services. Now the economy misses us. Too bad our goverenment sold us out!
Providing product and technologies to the rest of the world is what built this country, not purchasing it from another.
We need more private sector companies that create jobs not government jobs that need private sector money (taxes) to pay for them.
Thought Obama Was gonna Take Care of us?! Ha All he is doing is leading us to socialism.....
Thought Obama Was gonna Take Care of us?! Ha
Mr. President, Bring back our jobs!!!!
It's about damn time
I am looking forward to creating a new factory for my products, so I can employ 100 or more employees...:) I believe this petition may help.
We need to first build our Manufacturing Sector to revitalize the economy. BUY AMERICAN!!
In the past few years I have noticed that imported products are of such poor quality. It doesn't matter if it cost less, if you have to keep replacing it. Lets take some pride in America!! Lets LOVE our Country Again. LETS STOP SCOCIALIZM. SCOCIALIZM IS JUST A FANCY NAME FOR SLAVERY AND OPPRESSION.
We need to plan our future and make it happen!
Invest in OUR future, NOT THEIRS!!!!!
Made in American by Americans for Americans
