Americans, have you ever read something you would like everyone else to know about?

Question

This Article was sent to me by a friend.  It is worth reading and passing on to the rest of America.

"One Light Bulb at a Time"

A physics teacher in high school, once told the students that while one 
grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't slow a train very much, a billion of 
them would. With that thought in mind, read the following, obviously written by 
a good American ......

Good idea ......One light bulb at a time .......

Check this out ...... I can verify this because I was in Lowes the other day for 
some reason and just for the heck of it, I was looking at the hose attachments. 
They were all made in China . The next day I was in Ace Hardware and just for 
the heck of it, I checked the hose
attachments there. They were made in USA .  Start looking.

In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects 
someone else - even their job. So, after reading this email, I think this lady 
is on the right track.  Let's get behind her!

My grandson likes Hershey's candy. I noticed, though, that it is marked made in 
Mexico now.  I do not buy it any more.

My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico .  Now I have switched to 
Crest.  You have to read the labels on everything.

This past weekend I was at Kroger.  I needed 60 W light bulbs and Bounce dryer 
sheets.  I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next to the GE brand I 
normally buy was an off-brand labeled, "Everyday Value".  I picked up both types 
of bulbs and compared the stats -
They were the same except for the price ....  The GE bulbs were more money than 
the Everyday Value brand but the thing that surprised me the most was the fact 
that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in - get ready 
for this - the USA in a company in Cleveland, Ohio.

So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that are 
made right HERE.

So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets ..... Yep, you guessed it, bounce 
cost more money and is made in Canada . The Everyday Value brand was less money 
and MADE IN THE USA !  I did laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets performed 
just like the Bounce Free I have been using for years and at almost half the 
price!

My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for everyday 
things and see what you can find that is made in the USA - the job you save may 
be your own or your neighbors!

If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address book so we 
can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time! Stop buying from 
overseas companies!

(We should have awakened a decade ago...... )

Let's get with the program ......  Help our fellow Americans keep their jobs and 
create more jobs here in the U . S . A .!!!

I Passed this on ......... Will you ???????

Barack Obama's trip to India next month will be the biggest by any US President - with a staggering 40 aircraft and six armoured cars.
Details of the elaborate arrangements for the tree-day presidential visit on November 6 were leaked to Indian newspaper earlier this week.
Forty aircraft - including the Air Force One military plane - and six heavily armoured cars will follow the president around the country.
The huge security operation comes days after a suspected bomb was found on a cargo plane at East Midlands Airport.
The entourage will be the biggest ever in terms of logistics and manpower for any US president.
The president himself will be ferried around in a black Cadillac - dubbed 'Barack Mobile' - which has its own built in communications centre - to enable Obama to be in touch with the White House, US vice president and the US strategic command
The car also has the US nuke launch codes and the nuclear switch for the president. It can also withstand a chemical or germ warfare or even a bomb attack.
Obama will be accompanied on the trip by US first lady Michelle Obama and their daughters Malia and Sasha, according to Indian newspaper Headlines Today.
Earlier, Obama's daughters Sasha and Malia were not to be part of the trip. But Michelle's opinion prevailed and now the girls will accompany the first American couple to India, according to the paper.
It is hoped that the trip will  build important economic links between the US and India. The county has become one of the fasted growing economies and some experts predict that it could rival China in the coming years.
Earlier this year, Prime Minister David Cameron took a group of business leaders on a UK trip to India.
US officials also hope that Obama's trip will breath new life into his presidency after a drop in support ahead of the mid-term elections.
Political commentators claim that many poorer white American's feel alienated by Obama's failure to deliver promises two years after his rip-roaring election win.
But the extent of the trip to India - which could run up a bill of hundreds of thousands of pounds - is unlikely to win over hard-up swing voters in the US.
The president has booked the entire Taj Mahal Hotel for two days of his visit and the property will be a no-go area for non-hotel staff while he is staying.
A heavy security cordon will be in place around the hotel and  there will be strict restrictions on vessels near the plush building.
Obama will visit the historic Taj Mahal with wife Michelle and their two children.
The secret service will set up two command posts in Delhi and Mumbai which will act as the communication nerve centres. These centres will keep an eye on each movement by the president with real time satellite monitoring.
Three Marine One choppers will be reassembled in India to ferry Obama and his family.
Thirty sniffer dogs will also be put on service to boost the security arrangements during Obama's visit.
