MADE in the U.S.A. Store | |||||||||||||||||
Hi,I'm a laid off senior automotive designer looking to get on with things and make some money doing something good, honest and lucrative. Serious discussion of this idea is requested. If you're not serious about the opportunity please don't reply. Looking for venure capital, investors, partners, and like-minded individuals to bring some sanity and dignity back to the country AND MAKE MONEY doing it! I wish to speak about a business opportunity featuring products ONLY made in the USA. Only USA made AND manufactured products... This idea is in response to my disgust at what I discovered at the Epcott Center in Disneyworld. The World Showcase features many countries, the U.S.A. included. It's a nice pavillion kinda like Mount Vernon, where you can "celebrate America at the majestic Colonial-style structure that houses the inspirational The American Adventure theatrical show, the thrilling Hall of Flags, and a stunning, acoustically pure rotunda — home to the Voices of Liberty. Enjoy the rousing entertainment of the Spirit of America Fife & Drums Corp and the star-spangled line-up at the America Gardens Theatre on the pavilion's magnificent grounds. And if you're hungry, you can't beat the true American tastes at the Liberty Inn". Then you can spend your U.S. dollars to purchase good old U.S.A .red white & blue coffee cups, banners, buttons, flags and much, much more... ALL MADE IN CHINA! WHAT THE !!#@%$#^*@#^%^$ !!!! I was, and still am flabergasted, disgusted, and seriously dissappointed. I will never EVER spend another dime on Walt Disney products until this changes. How can this be WALT? I will start small. you can join me if you want to, if not get the heck outtamy way... I CAN get the products and this will build momentum for more products to be manufactured here in the USA. In this country, who would'nt go into a store next to your hometown grocery store which advertised products ONLY made by the U.S.A. ...well I can think of a few, but the majority of folks in this country WOULD! My idea is to lease storefront space and feature products ONLY made in the United States. Real and useable goods, not just frivolous stuff, clothes, furniture, electronics, tools, space heaters, hardware goods, things people use everyday. This gets your products and other U.S. made products in front of folks face every time they pick up groceries in the supermarket in the strip mall down the street. Kinda like the old Sears catalog showroom model. Orders will be placed in the store and either delivered to the customers physical address or picked up in the store itself. It's a reverse of what is now online but there has to be some greater physical exposure instead of cyberspace exposure to the option of purchasing U.S. made products. Here in Michigan, with the economy in the tank, people are keenly aware of the global manufacturing dilemma we all face in this country, and fiercely patriotic in the sense of supporting it's own people and manufacturing base in order to maintain our sustainability and be able to stand on our own two feet as a country. Lead in toys, Christmas lights and decorations, toothpaste... we've only scratched the surface on this one folks, & there's no real protection at this point by the FDA. Our government is taking it's merry old time because the old boys in Washington own a great deal of the factories in China. What better time to push for the USA! If we don't do it now then when? Please reply soon, as my request is serious and believe the opportunity is ripe for my idea to be of great benefit to all involved. If you can't contribute financially to this venture, then voice your opinion to everyone you know, speak up, spend your money on products made in the U.S.A. or anywhere else but CHINA! Let's protect our own, and stand up for this country! Call your politicians and give them HELL then vote them out if they don't respond too the people's will. Take back the middle class. TAKE BACK AMERICA!!!

CHINE HAS THE MUCH PREFERED NATION TAG - IT HAS MADE A BIG DENT INTOUS MARKETS - YOU WANT TO MAKE PROUDCTS IN THE US NOW AND SELL THEM -YOU CAN NEVER BEAT THE CHINESE IN THEIR PRICES - THE MIDDLE CLASS STILLPREFER THE CHEAP CHINESE PRICES - IT IS ONLY TOO VERY LATE FOR THIS CONCEPTTO WORK- IT MAY SOUND PATRIOTIC - BUT WHO CARES
I hope to prove you wrong. There are products made here in the U.S.A. that need to be put out there in an exclusive situation. An online version is ok, but the option needs to be in their faces everyday. The complacency is due to the fact that there is currently little option. I'm offering the option.

I'm sure you wouldn't care. Why would I care if I were in India? Or Indian living in the U.S.A.?
Give me time and the opportunity & I will prove you wrong.
I do have the sources to market these goods. I just don't have all the financial resouces to get the momentum to turn this around. If I had the choice I would buy all American. I'll bet millions of Americans would as well. How do I get that choice? Give me the opportunity & I'll show you.
I wonder where the "Why Not" merchandise is made?Make it in the USA!
I agree that quite a few people would like to buy American-made products, but I also wonder if enough people would buy it to cover the expenses incurred in making things in the US. Even in the area of wages alone, the few pennies a day that Chinese people are willing to work are a lot lower than the almost six dollars a day minimum wage which Americans expect to get.
I understand your concern and idea, but I'm sorry to tell you that this already exist[ed]s. WAL*MART/SAM*S CLUB was originally all-American made stores, but once Sam Walton passed away and other people took over, they took in new products which were not all made in the USA. But I guess the idea would go over well, I mean, hey look at WAL*MART!
