FTC: Made In The USA Comments Concerning Lois F. Downey--P894219 609-231-8818 TO: FTC IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE FTC WILL BE REVIEWING ITS POLICY ON THE USE OF THE MADE IN THE USA LABEL. I ALWAYS USE THAT LABEL IN MAKING PURCHASING DECISIONS. IT SHOULD ONLY BE USED BY THOSE MANUFACTURERS WHERE ALL OR VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE PRODUCT WAS MADE HERE. I WANT TO SUPPORT THE US ECONOMY, DO MY PART FOR THE FOREIGN TRADE IMBALANCE, ETC... HOW CAN I IF THE LABEL IS RENDERED USELESS BY ALLOWING ITS ATTACHMENT TO PRODUCTS UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES THAT PERMIT MORE FOREIGN INVOLVEMENT? I ALSO PREFER NOT TO BUY ANYTHING MADE IN CHINA DUE TO THAT COUNTRY'S BRUTALITY TOWARDS TIBET, AND ITS USE OF PRISON LABOR TO MAKE GOODS SOLD IN THE US. BY TAKING AWAY THE REAL TEETH OF THE LABEL AND WATERING IT DOWN, I WILL BE UNABLE TO DISCRIMINATE AMONGST THE ITEMS THAT I BUY. Lois Downey Page 1 |
