To the Editor:
I’m not one to write a letter to the newspaper. I’m not good at words. But it has gotten to a point where it has gone too far, and it makes me very angry, mad and upset. So, I am writing this. I feel it has to be said.
Why are we, the U.S.A., buying from China, except for the price? China is trying to take over the U.S. without firing a shot. They are trying to break into our country’s computer systems of government, military, financial and commercial.
They are trying to get to our kids through their toys, poisoning them through lead in the paint and many other safety hazards, and now, I hear the kids beads, if swallowed, could turn into a drug, similar to the date-rape drug.

Why are we letting them do this to us for just a few dollars. It isn’t worth it. Our country’s future is in our kids, and China knows this.
Remember the problem with dog food? How many pets have died? There have been hundreds of thousands of recalls on tires from China. How many other recalls and other safety situations haven’t we heard about?
We are using pipe made in China in the U.S.-Mexico border fence while U.S. pipe companies are closing. Oh, don’t forget about the toxic liquid found in baby pacifiers.
We need to get our country back to where it was — manufacturing the goods and products we need.
I don’t mind paying more for “Made in U.S.A.” products. In fact, I look for them. There are still some available. Our workers need to have more pride in their jobs and not go to work just for the paycheck, but to be working for the good of our country.
Don’t buy China. Put pride back in “Made in U.S.A.”
At this time, several cities around the country are on a campaign not to buy Chinese for future city equipment.
Last night, my wife and I went out looking for another artificial Christmas tree and went into one of our finer department stores. We saw several nice trees there. After checking, I come to find out one of the ones we were looking at was not UL approved. Guess what? It was made in China. Buyer beware.
The U.S. market is flooded by goods made in China. What has happened to the us in “Made in the U.S.A.”
Now the Chinese won’t let our ships into Hong Kong port. Are they afraid we might see something? What are they trying to hide? Maybe we should keep all their ships out of our ports. Good idea.
Don’t buy China. Put pride back in “Made in the U.S.A.”
I feel better. I just needed to get this out. Enough said. No. Not enough said.
