Tell everyone on your list that you will only buy them what they want if its made in America. I told my wife that one year that I would be happy to buy her a set of dishes if she could fine a set made in America. She never could fine a set I would have save money but I couldn't do that to her I bought her a set made in France what the hell it beat buying a set made in China. All kidding aside I try very hard to buy American and I look for the union label since I believe that unions are the best thing we have going for the American worker!
