Make a difference to the American worker and improve our economy. This holiday season don't buy anything made in China. Send this message on to everyone you know. Write the manufacturers, designers, and stores that you like and tell them why you will not be buying their Chinese-made goods. Give certificates for services done by Americans. Find one good gift not made in China, preferably US made or if you really can't find anything, from a country that buys things from us. We have to stand up to corporate greed by where we spend out money. This is something we can all do that can make a difference - if we all do it and we tell the greedy ones why their Chinese goods aren't selling!
The Revolution has a theme song!

I agree 100%
We worked up some Christmas shopping guidelines in another post. I then cleaned them up and posted them externally so the whole country could see and share them via twitter, face-book, etc. Take a look at http://bit.ly/vof9WH and if you like it, forward the link as far and wide as possible. We need multitudes to do this if we're to have an impact!
A few American made goods directories: http://americansworking.com/ http://www.madeinusa.org/nav.cgi?info/whybuy http://findusmade.com/
Google for more!
We did fine more... we put them up on an external site per the paragraph below...

Yes. Buy locally from artists, craftsmen, even buy second hand. Support our own and keep our economy stimulated.
Please e-mail this concept to everyone you know. We have to make a difference this holiday season.
Oldsoul - I think it would be a very powerful message as well.
