That's the philosophy of the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA), which opened its online Buy American store yesterday. Now, with the click of a mouse, you can buy Made-in-America products from clothing and chairs to pistols and beef.
The CPA is a coalition of American workers, farmers, manufacturers and ranchers. The news release they issued yesterday shows they're something different. Here it is:
As of today, the customer dollars you spend.Happy shopping!
Won’t be funneled to another country.
By a big department store that buys mostly imports.
As of today, every purchase you make.
Will help an American company.
And will help CPA, not a multinational retailer, get stronger.
To serve your interests.
As of today, you don’t have to say.
“Where can I buy American? It’s so hard.”
