Chinese-made parts for our U.S military?

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Savannah is investigating allegations that a Georgia plumbing company improperly used Chinese-made parts on a military construction project and then tried to hide the evidence.

The FOX 5 I-Team obtained photos and videos recorded by a former employee who filed an official complaint. “I have seen foreign materials the first day I got there,” said Kam Wright, 21, of Montgomery, Alabama.

Only American workers pay taxes to fund our U.S military and national defense. Workers in China pay no taxes to America. We should not be using products made by workers in China. If you suspect something that might violate our ‘Buy American’ laws (a company claiming its product is made in the USA when it is not), contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at (202) 326-2222. Many of the claims the FTC investigates come from concerned American consumers like you and me.

Support the COOL Online Act (country-of-origin labeling)

Buy American advocates have always been frustrated by having no way to know if what they are buying online is American-made or imported. Now we have a chance to turn that around!

Earlier this month, the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation passed the COOL Online Act, which would mandate that country-of-origin labeling be included in the description of any website product online. The amendment passed the senate committee with overwhelming bipartisan support. Please contact your senator and urge them to do whatever they can to advance this necessary amendment, which was added to the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act (S. 1260) by Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI).

We have an uphill battle to get the COOL Online Act passed into law. Large corporations like Amazon and Walmart are lobbying hard and are fighting against the amendment. Contact your senator today and tell them to resist Amazon’s lobbying and do what is right for American workers and consumers!
