Girding For Buy America Battle...Know Page 489! SAVE OUR JOBS

It is strongly suggested that American Workers and Unions familiarize themselves with the Buy American Language found in the Stimulus Bill on page 489, and be prepared to hold Congress and BIG BUSINESS'S feet to the fire! Canada, Mexico, China and others are already harping that they are being cut out of OUR STIMULUS. In short, they are going to try to make DEALS, use lobbyist to get them backroom deals that steal our jobs, destroy even more of our manufacturing base. This is an American Stimulus, and will only remain so if we FORCE OUR GOVERNMENT to stick to the red letter of the law as written on page 489 of the Stimulus Bill. If we hold them to it, if we have attorneys on the ready, we can KEEP THIS MONEY HOME HERE IN AMERICA where it belongs. Further, every person reading this blog is encouraged to call their elected officials demanding a ADD ON BILL that would Make hiring Americans and E Verify a MANDATORY PARTICIPATION requirement for ANY STIMULUS OR BAILOUT FUNDS...this would force companies to HIRE AMERICANS, and by applying it to the bailout as well, it would also stop AMERICAN BAILOUT FUNDS BEING given to foreign companies.

"SEC. 1605. USE OF AMERICAN IRON, STEEL, AND MANUFACTURED GOODS. [PDF - see page 489]

(a) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be used for a project for the construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of a public building or public work unless all of the iron, steel, and manufactured goods used in the project are produced in the United States.*

(b) Subsection (a) shall not apply in any case or any category of cases in which the head of the Federal department or agency involved finds that applying subsection (a) would be inconsistent with the public interest; THIS IS WHERE THE LEGAL BATTLE NEEDS TO BE FOUGHT...be ready to FILE LAWSUITS, and LOTS OF THEM.

(2) iron, steel, and the relevant manufactured goods are not produced in the United States if sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quality; or

(3) inclusion of iron, steel, and manufactured goods produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent. China will try to get around Buy American with this section by DUMPING product at rediculous prices.

(c) If the head of a Federal department or agency determines that it is necessary to waive the application of subsection (a) based on a finding under subsection (b) the head of the department or agency shall publish in the Federal Register a detailed written jurisdiction as to why the provision is being waived. Does the public get a chance to CHALLENGE? submit comments? public hearings?

(d) This section shall be applied in a manner consistent with United States obligations under international agreements.

[The Joint Explanatory Statement indicates:]

Section 1605 provides for the use of American iron, steel, and manufactured goods, except in certain instances. Section 1605 (d) is not intended to repeal by implication the President's authority under Title III of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979. The conferees anticipate that the Administration will rely on the authority under 19 U.S.C. 2511 (b) to the extent necessary to comply with U.S. obligations under the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement and under US free trade agreements and so that section 1605 will not apply to least developed countries to the same extent that it does not apply to the parties to those international agreements. The conferees also note that waiver authority under section 2511 (b) (2) has not been used."

Obama SCREWS AMERICAN WORKERS, Tells Canada That NAFTA Changes Can Wait

Here is a CLUE President Obama...American tax payers are NOT GOING TO TOLERATE our tax dollars being used to STIMULATE the World Economy, or for that matter Canada's Economy. Further, you cannot stop us here on Main Street in bringing forth our own PROTECTIONIST ACTIONS by leaving NON AMERICAN products and goods on STORE SHELVES across America. Fact...if we do not buy it, if we DEMAND AMERICAN GOODS, retailers will have NO CHOICE but to abide by our demands as expressed with our wallets and pocketbooks, will have no choice but to stock Made In America goods and products.

To every American...the time has come to STOP BUYING ALL NON AMERICAN PRODUCED GOODS. We want our MANUFACTURING BASE BACK. That will not happen as long as we continue to buy GOODS AND SERVICES at Walmart that are made in China, are always looking for the CHEAPEST PRICE, rather than paying a bit extra to KEEP OUR OWN AMERICANS EMPLOYED. (Illegal Aliens ARE NOT Americans)

This blog is encouraging all Americans to BOYCOTT ALL NON AMERICAN PRODUCTS, and TO BOYCOTT ALL COMPANIES THAT HIRE ILLEGAL ALIENS. It is time to TAKE BACK WHAT IS OURS, and that means drawing the line in the sand. WE DO NOT WANT NAFTA, CAFTA or the North American Union. We do not want the Amero as our currency and we will NOT take orders from the WTO. Our debt to China...it will be paid off when we make the necessary changes to return to America what never should have left...our wealth, and our jobs in the manufacturing sector. The truth...we can rebuild our manufacturing infrastructure, take back what is rightfully ours, or we can slide into being a third world nation. Screw China...if we stop buying from them, it will be THEM OWING US, it will be their economy that shrivels up and dies instead of ours. It will be them looking for a handout.

WAKE UP AMERICA...our future is in our hands, in the buying decisions we make from today forward, in our ability if necessary to take to the streets to force Washington to END the free ride for Illegal Aliens, in forcing Congress to declare a moratorium ON ALL IMMIGRATION. You want a job, then stop BUYING SHIT MADE IN OTHER COUNTRIES...it is THAT SIMPLE, and the WTO, CHINA and yes, NAFTA know this...they need us spending our dollars on their products...TOO BAD, it is America's turn to take care of AMERICANS.

Official Launch...Americans For Americans

Obama, you represent Americans and our INTERESTS, not the interests of Illegal Aliens, not the interests of China or even Canada

Watching Obama once again turning his back on American workers and our families, have come to the decision that enough is enough, that it is up to us on Main Street to save our nation, to once again make America number one by making Americans number one. Yes, I am talking about Americans taking care of Americans by watching out for each other.

1. Buy American...protectionist...you bet your ass it is, and who cares. Do you want to give people in China, India or Taiwan a job, or keep those jobs here at home in the United States of America? If you say America, then STOP BUYING ANYTHING (whenever possible) from a foreign country, but specifically avoid the purchase of ALL PRODUCT from China...the time has come to BOYCOTT THIS COMMUNIST NATION, take away their Most Favored Nation status with our pocketbooks since our government will not do it. This one singular action will force companies to begin the process of rebuilding America's own manufacturing infrastructure. If it is NOT MADE IN AMERICA, we do not need, must learn to live without it.

2. Demand enforcement of our Immigration Laws as they exist...it is time to being the deportations, time to imprison any American Company hiring illegal aliens within the borders f the United States of America. If we have to organize massive protests, if we have to march on work sites, organize Congressional Office sit ins, then let us do it. The time when an Illegal Alien can TAKE OUR JOB, STEAL FOOD FROM OUR CHILDREN, and depress our wages while our government looks the other way ENDS NOW. There are over seven million illegal aliens working in our economy while FIVE MILLION AMERICANS ARE OUT OF WORK...again, LET THE DEPORTATIONS BEGIN.

3. Form neighborhood watch groups to locate, and identify to law enforcement all illegal aliens, and those that hire or aid them. This includes ALL CATHOLIC AID GROUPS. Where and when possible, get home addresses of suspected illegal aliens, take notes of locations where they shop, and where they eat when dining out. If possible, use a digital camera to create visual proof...consider loading this videos and digital photos to a Watch Group Blog. BOYCOTT all businesses (and churches) that provide ANY SERVICES to Illegal Aliens...History shows us that SHUNNING WORKS.

As you consider taking action, some facts:

1. In excess of $150 Billion dollars a year is being ROBBED from our American Economy through remittances being sent to foreign lands. In fact, remittances are one of the top three cash creators for the nation of Mexico, the other two being oil and DRUGS SHIPPED INTO AMERICA. We shut down Illegal Alien access to jobs and to services through boycotts of all business locations that cater to them, and we shut off their ability to send American Dollars out of America.

2. Illegal Aliens in our work force on a yearly basis depress the wages of American Workers in the lower and middle class by over $230 BILLION DOLLARS. The time has come to end CHEAP WAGES by creating a environment FAVORABLE TO EMPLOYEES, rather than FAVORABLE to employers looking to keep wages and benefits DOWN. This can be easily accomplished by shutting down the National Chamber of Commerce's PRO ILLEGAL ALIEN, CHEAP WAGES, GUEST WORKER, AMNESTY AGENDA...we do this by making sure illegal aliens are FORCED OUT OF OUR JOBS AND DEPORTED. The time has come to DROP A DIME ON THEM...Illegal Aliens, and those that HIRE THEM. Get rid of America's 12-25 MILLION Illegal Aliens, force the 7 million illegal aliens currently in the work force out, and we have laid the foundation stones for a LIVING WAGE FOR ALL LEGAL AMERICANS AND LEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

3. Illegal Aliens and their 4.4 MILLION Anchor Babies are a drain on our Social Services at a time when LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS need them...why should the families of Illegal Aliens get FOOD STAMPS? Why should ILLEGAL ALIENS and their families get access to medical care at our expense...Obama made that a reality for over four million children of illegal aliens with the stroke of a pen. In these harsh economic times, we need to demand our government CEASE granting any access to any services (including education) to those here in American Illegally.

4. Making E Verify mandatory for every business/company in America for all their employees, current and future would in a period of 90 days have the ability to force almost 4 million Illegal Aliens OUT OF THEIR JOBS in our Economy, thus creating the ability to put FOUR MILLION AMERICANS BACK TO WORK.
