New Occupy Christmas movement sweeping USA

Shoppers pledging to only buy American-made products this Christmas

"I do care if it's made in America, I like to buy stuff that's made in America. Why? Just because that's where we live and that's what I want to support," Dan said.

This holiday season thousands of other shoppers are feeling patriotic, too.

There are several websites dedicated to the movement, including one by ABC News, challenging people to shop American.

My family is buying much less this year due to job losses and Rick Scott taking 3% of my pay.
