Made in 
the USA

By Brent Budowsky

Let’s begin a national wave movement for Americans to buy American products, sold by American companies, made by American workers, to create American jobs and lift the American economy.

Tired of high unemployment, exported jobs, big deficits and low wages? Here is the answer. Let’s kick some butt, take some names, wave some flag and rise as a nation to buy some products made by red, white and blue American workers!

Throughout the land there is a fervent patriotism waiting to be tapped and a patriotic capitalism waiting to be born to lift the nation and mobilize Americans, from Tea Party voters to union workers, from the inner-city poor to rural America, from small businesses to American women and our veteran heroes.

Buy American. Every American can do it. No power on earth can stop us. Every time we buy an American product we help create jobs for American workers and profits for the companies that employ them. We grow our economy and lower our deficit in a great virtuous cycle.

Buy American. Each of us individually and together has the power to lift our land the way previous generations of Americans lifted America to defeat depression, prevail in war and soar to the moon in less than a decade.

In the coming weeks I will expand my call for a patriotic capitalism and Buy American movement with proposals that can win support across the spectrum of a divided America ready to be united and mobilized with a common purpose.

ABC’s “World News” has been running a long continuing series about “Made in America” that realizes a brilliant vision of what the medium of television can achieve.
