The Conservative Party USA urges all Americans to help revive and sustain the America economy by purchasing products made in the United States whenever possible.
No other political party has officially adopted a common sense policy that encourages Americans to understand the high cost of cheap imports and the long-term value of buying American. No single shift in economic behavior will have a greater, faster and positive impact on the U.S. economy than buying products made in America.
Buying American products doesn’t require an Act of Congress. It needs no special tax legislation or international trade pacts. It has no downside. But it will help slash unemployment..fast. It will also increase revenues, reduce annual budget deficits and help melt our growing national debt glacier without government intervention or tax increases.
CP-USA firmly believes that legitimate profit motive is compatible with Economic Patriotism which: Reduces regulatory and tax burdens on small business; Provides tax incentives to U.S. corporations to hire Americans to work in America; and encourages corporate Boards and shareholders to recognize the value and profitability of creating and keeping jobs in America. It’s the only way America can survive in a global economy in which foreign countries are dedicated to eclipsing the Unites States. As the world’s sole beacon of true Democracy, human rights, free market capitalism and mutually beneficial fair trade, Americans must not allow that to happen.
We Americans racked up a staggering $498B trade deficit in 2010. Imagine how much it would help revitalize our economy if we kept most of that money at home. While we must certainly discourage U.S. companies from shipping jobs offshore, American consumers must do their parts by purchasing “Made in America” products and services when possible.
There are thousands of great American companies that manufacture quality products here at home. The “Made in America” website lists a few of them according to state and product category. California, for example, has 81 companies while Pennsylvania and Texas have 59 and 28 respectively. FromAdding machines to Zoom lenses, there is VERY LITTLE that American consumers or companies need that can’t be supplied by U.S. based companies. Learn more atHow To Buy American.

CP-USA members should look for such products. We should support companies that keep jobs in America. We should demand that department stores and retailers stock such products. And price must not be the sole factor when making purchasing decisions in this era of Economic Patriotism. While it’s acknowledged that many Americans are forced to adopt a price-conscious approach because of the 9+% unemployment rate, at least 85% of Americans are still working and many of them can – and should – pay a bit more for U.S. made products. Especially they realize it will help employ their neighbors or fellow citizens in another state. The United States would add 100,000 NEW jobs if each American spent an extra $50/year on U.S. made products. Remember, “That job you save may be your own”. ©
If foreign countries are allowed to have one-sided trade Agreements…
If foreign companies can compete against American companies without fair trade…
If American companies don’t care about the economic future of their own country…
If executives of U.S. companies don’t care about the well-being of taxpayers who rescued them..
If American consumers fail to understand the value of “Buying American”…
If the two major parties in Congress allow all this to continue unabated…
And if patriotic Americans do nothing to help rectify these problems…
….Then the United States is doomed.
The Conservative Party (www.conservativepartyusa.com) will rectify the consistent failures of the current two-party system. CP-USA is America’s True “Second Party” and represents the next step in the evolution of the Tea Party.
