I read about this in the wall street journal - stating that they would change the law "made in usa" to allow only 85% u.s.a. material instead of the normal 100%. I think if they say made in usa, it should be! I disagree with their rational of global manufacturing world!! thankyou, mitch stanley ps! I would like to see some changes in things 1. the ftc asked for publi comment in the wsj web site! that is a poor sampling of public opinio thus, any federal commission(ftc/fcc/ect) should ask for public comment in tv/radio/newspapers/ect 2. public officials (local,state,federal) should have there names, addres fax, phone, e-mail # listed! this would allow the " people" to be in contact with them.publish quarterly in the aforementioned media . 3. I think it's a shame I had to pay $125 for a federal govt. phone book! I feel the american people should receive one every year - to st in touch with govt. & vice-a-versa! thankyou,mitch stanley pss, i sent asimilar message to senator wyden. |
