I don't know the politics of these companies but I'll bet money
they are not thrilled about US trade agreements, outsourcing
and H-1B and so on.

#1 thing you can do to help Americans is not shop at Walmart.
Frontline did it again last night with another series on Walmart.
They force their suppliers to move to China, in so many words,
and pretty much everything in the store is from China (huge amount)
plus treat their workers like shit, no benefits, low wages.

any ideas? :think:

www.adbusters.org has sneakers. They make sure the workers are treated fairly and it keeps money from the big (right-wing) corporations. They came up with this specifically to counter Nike and their big corporation bad practices.

Please take a look at this link for union-made products. Unions have fought for fair wages, safe working conditions, health care, secure retirements, and a strong economy for all of us. Supporting union-made products is important in keeping jobs here in America, rather than being outsourced to sweat shops in the third world.
