One of the cherished freedoms we have in America is the freedom to choose.

When it comes to shopping, you have the freedom to choose American-made products, or you can choose imported products. However, with that choice, you also are choosing either to contribute to a better America or contribute to our economy's downward slide.

With America's unemployment rate hovering around nine percent, we can either choose to buy products made in America that have the potential to bring that unemployment rate down and put Americans back to work, or we can choose imports that will send America's wealth outside the country and support workers in foreign countries who pay no taxes to this country.

One thing is for sure; when it comes to the ability to buy American, awareness is the key. We can have the greatest intentions in the world, but if we aren't aware of how actually to find and buy American products, our honorable intentions may be somewhat muted.

Fortunately there is a new e-commerce site that sells only American-made products, and it's appropriately called www.ChooseMadeInUSA.com.

At www.ChooseMadeInUSA.com, Americans are given back their freedom of choice to support American entrepreneurs who have exercised their own right to take a risk on behalf of making a better American economy by hiring and employing American workers instead of workers in foreign countries, which will keep American dollars in America where they should stay.

I like it.

I'm not against trade in and of itself. But I am strongly opposed to our current set of policies, which subsidize imports and finance with a propped-up dollar, involves trade agreements that benefit some industries and hurt others, allow for the free flow of money but not humans, and encourage a race to the bottom on labor and environmental standards.
