This site was created in order to compile a list of manufacturers and suppliers by state who make or produce products here in the United States. This reference site can help you locate those hard to find American manufacturers and producers. The time has come for Americans to truly understand the importance of supporting American made products. Our country is experiencing an economic downturn unlike anything in the history of our country. The prosperity of our children and the economic security of this great nation are at stake.

The now common mentality of every man for himself (divide and rule) has to be changed and replaced with forgotten Patriotism. The same philosophy that this great nation was founded on needs to be remembered once again. Let us not forget the writings of John Dickinson in 1768, when he wrote: "Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all! By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall!" Nor the immortal words of John F. Kennedy, ?And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country? .

Understanding the power of the American dollar and its relation to the world economy can be confusing for most. Especially, in these trying times when everyone is looking to maximize the value of their dollar. But the fact is, our love of cheaper products made overseas is catching up to us, and coming back to distress our economy and the American philosophy this country was founded on.

As Americans we must start to recycle a portion of our American dollars here in the United States, and support American made products to help balance our trade deficit with other countries. Every dollar you spend on products not made in the USA strengthens other country's job markets. As of the 1997 census report, the United States has over 300,000,000 citizens. With the average American family spending over 85% of their consumable product income on foreign made products. With spending levels that high on foreign goods, its no surprise our economy is in a downturn with extreme job losses and a mounting trade deficit. If every American shifted just $25 a month of their consumable product income to products made in the USA, approximately 6 million new jobs could be created here in the United States!

Many of us are old enough to remember when most American products were considered number one in the world. We can and must bring America back to this status again for future generations. Just by making small changes in our spending habits, purchasing American made products when and where we can, would greatly help our economic recovery. We do not want to stop free trade. Simply, we need to bring the trade balance in line with our trading partners. This can be accomplished by a simple change in our spending habits. An act of government is not needed to achieve this.

We the people of this United States control the trade balance by what we purchase! Companies will supply what we want, not just what they offer. We dictate product demand. This eliminates the alienation factor some fear would come from other countries if buy American is dictated by our government.

The time has come for all Americans to act now! As Americans, our patriotic duty to protect and defend our country does not stop at serving for war and security reasons. It also means to protect and defend our economy by all means possible.

We must work together! Greed for higher corporate profits by way of cheap overseas labor has drained our economy enough. Outsourcing was a profitable ride for some on Wall Street but was not in the best interest of working Americans and their families on Main Street.
