FTC: Made In The USA Comments Concerning Margaret W. Carron--P894219 July 28, 1997 Mrs. Margaret W. Carron Ms. Elaine Kolish, Assoc. Director of Enforcement Dear Ms. Kolish, I am totally AGAINST redefining the "Made in America" label. Why does our government want to confuse the consumer? Why does our government prefer that consumers “accidentally” buy foreign products when U S. Government labeling leads one to think they are truly buying American? Why does our government essentially want to support cheap foreign laborers to the detriment of workers in the United States? Why is our government placing the economic welfare of other countries before our own? Does our government really represent us, the U.S. taxpayers, or does "our" government really represent the giant international companies who, by exporting jobs from the U.S. to cheap labor (including child and slave labor) overseas thereby pocketing ever increasing CORPORATE PROFITS? I await a speedy reply. Sincerely, Margaret W. CarronMrs. Margaret W. Carron cc:Rep. Dick Armey |
