Americans overwhelmingly want to know where the products they buy are made—including ones bought online. Thankfully, Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Commerce Committee took an important step this month towards making that a reality by passing Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s, D-Wis., COOL Online Act.

Unfortunately, Amazon and other large online retailers are now lobbying to prevent this bill from ever becoming law.
