Our first Make Our Future Work resolution calls on local and state governments and leaders to use taxpayer dollars to maximize the creation of American jobs and to restore the economic vitality of our communities.

This may be referred to as "Buy American" or domestic content or domestic sourcing. The bottom line for us is that we want to keep American tax dollars in America to create jobs at home. Help us by taking our "Buy American" resolution to your local and state governments and push them to pass and implement it. Everything you need is below, including our new talking points to help you learn how to spot some businesses who are trying to get out of buying American-made goods with out taxpayer dollars.

For more information, call 1-866-836-5103 or e-mail us. So far, the resolution has been introduced in more than 400 cities and states across the country. Click here to track the progress.

1. The globalization sham has not worked for the US

Why do we need to compete with the 3rd world labor rates ??It was never about increasing trade it was ALL about bringing the average workers wage down, all of the free trade agreements should be scrapped.We cannot evolve into a service economy,we need a strong manufacturing base!Most other countries subsidize their major industries and have REAL HEATHCARE FOR FREE!!
