Re: Truth in Labeling Act
Dear Sirs and Ladies:
We are against the proposed change in labeling because
- we want to know at point of purchase whether the
product is made of items or materials
manufactured in the US or in which other
Country/ies;
- we want to know at point of purchase whether the
product is assembled in the US or in which other
Country/ies;
- we want to keep the right to support the
“Made in USA” label and know we support
the US workers and the US economy - not the
Corporation who outsources the production into
other countries;
- we want to be able to choose which country’s
product or labor we purchase whether it is the
US, Taiwan, Korea, China or . . . ;
- in this age of computers it will only be a minor
task to list the various countries that are
involved in the making of any product,;
- we realize that some products, e.g. cars and
electronics have quite an involved manufacturing
track, however, WE, THE CONSUMER want to know the
history to make our informed choice!
We vote NO to the weakening of “MADE IN USA”
Label
Sincerely
Ursula C. Bell
Robert W. Bell
