Buy American, While We Can
Roger Simmermaker, an electronics technician for a large defense contractor and the vice president of his local machinists union, is the author of “How Americans Can Buy American.”

It’s simply not necessary to buy the steel, iron and other manufactured materials we need to build and repair our roads and bridges from other countries when we can supply it ourselves.

The buy-American provision in the economic stimulus bill isn’t as much about a return to protectionism as it is about a return to the American virtues and values — self-sufficiency, self-reliance and independence — that this country was founded on.



I'm sure there are more like it.
