> 70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese

> trading privileges? DO IT YOURSELF!

> Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says "Made in

> product or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on
> Chinese products, however you will be equally amazed at what you can do
> without. Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs,
> use real ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example,
> the point is. do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and
> assume control on your own.
> If 200 million Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods,
> that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!! The
> downside? Some American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having
> foreign stockpiles of inventory.

> Let's give them fair warning and send our own message. We will not implement

> Remember, June 4 to July 4.
