American Made Bedding

Since you spend a third of your life in bed maybe you should make sure your mattress is American Made. The mattress is very large and hard to ship which of course makes it a great candidate to be Made in the USA. Can you imagine the shipping cost for a California King from China? Do you really want all that shipping cost rolled into your products pricing? Not to mention the amount of pollution associated with moving an item that large from the other side of the planet.

So next time you need a new mattress please look at all the American made choices.

Made in the USA State by State

Are you going to play in the snow?

Before you go play in the snow check out all the great gear your fellow Americans make for you to use. Did you know there are companies that make Snowshoes in America? We are such a cool Country hand making things like paddle boards for the summer snowshoes for the winter. You can also find gaiters, mittens, base layers and outerwear all made in the USA. Go play but buy American before you do.

Furniture Made in the USA

There are many small American companies making furniture in the USA. You can find a large list of them on our directory. American made furniture has many advantages such as being made in a more sustainable manner, lower carbon footprint as it is shipped across a few states not halfway around the world. Support local craftsman and jobs when you buy furniture Made in the USA

Happy Veterans Day

I would not have the freedom to complain about my government from time to time without veterans. I would not get to cast a ballot for my government if not for a veteran. Thanks to the men and women who answered the call and those that still are. I appreciate and admire you.

Plow under WTO and NAFTA

NAFTA and WTO have been so harmful to the small family farms in America. Since the inception of NAFTA and WTO 170K American Family farms have gone out of business. Food imports in the USA have sky rocketed while exports hardly grew at all. Once again big business boomed and the American family paid the price. Support American farmers and grown in the USA.

Level the playing field or lose more jobs.

Some say American products cost more than imports? Do you think those people really factored in all the cost? American factories have a minimum wage mandated by State and Federal law, American Factories have limits on air and water pollution. Americans are required by law to be paid overtime after 40 hours in one week. American employers incur payroll taxes. American factories pay for their power. Americans factories pay property taxes. The list goes on and on. Can you say the same thing of Chinese factories? Vietnam? India? I don't think so.

When the American Dream ends (it's not what you think)

Told you it was not what your were thinking. Well this is not an easy topic is it. When your American dream ends don't you want to go off into eternity in a casket made in the USA? I would be so angry at my family if they overlooked that little detail. I really have no idea where most caskets and coffins are made but leave nothing to chance!

Put American made toys on the top of your list

Look at this cool retro ad it is so cool. So while this company runs different ads now they still make the same awesome hand made toy trucks. These are items that will be passed down rather than tossed out. They are located on our giant list of toys made in the USA along with other companies dedicated to America.

My current favorite is a black zip up hoodie I bought at All USA Clothing. I also have a hand made knife from Mountain Man Toy Shop I'm pretty fond of as well.

Import a job and complain about outsourced customer service

Does it make you angry when you are dealing with an American company and need help and call a help line staffed out of the country. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame the people outside the country working the jobs if they are available. The problem is why are they available. They are in a sense working in the United States when they are helping me in my home or my office. Buying American made in not the only way to bring jobs home. Some might say these jobs are beneath us and I say baloney until every American that wants a job has one.
