Support the US

As many of you know, The Cat's Pajamas has all our stamps produced in the US. We think that it is important to support companies in the US because money that stays in the US circulates and creates a healthy economy can only benefit us. Why take money away from the very people who purchase our stamps? It's a no brainer, really.

So when I read this on Ginny's blog, I thought it brilliant and thought to pass it along.

Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think?
While the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic

products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets, the
media wrings its hands and criticizes the ex-Bush, ex-Clinton Administration for perceived
errors.

Yet 70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the
Chinese should be suspended.

Well, duh..why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?
SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA!!

Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says
'Made in China' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong),
simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at

how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally

amazed at what you can do without.

For example: Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter?
If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some

American farmer. Easter is just ane example, the point is do not

wait for the government to act.

Just go ahead and assume control on your own.

THINK ABOUT THIS:

If 200 million Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods,

that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!!
The downside? Some American businesses will feel a temporary pinch
from having foreign stockpiles of inventory.
Wahhhhhhhhhhhh !!!

The solution?
Let's give them fair warning and send our own message.
Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning
on implementing this on June 4, and continue it until July 4.

That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese

for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their American exports.. Then they will at least

have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and

lawlessness were worth it.

Remember,
June 4 to July 4.

EVEN BETTER. . . START NOW.

Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are Americans
and NOBODY can take us for granted.

If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives,

WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!

Pass it on, America
