Should we start another "Made in America" thread?

[xmas74]

Depending on who you ask, some say that American manufacturing is dead or dying. Others say it's attempting to make a bit of a comeback. I know, from day to day work, that there are many products that the public has no idea of being made in the USA. So, should we start a list about what is still made in America?

I have one for you to start the list.

1) Go out to your car and look at the battery. If it's a Diehard Platinum, I know for a fact it's made in America. (I know where it's made.) So, Diehard Platinum car battery, if you or anyone you know needs a new car battery.

2. Personally,

I think there needs to be a thread made later on and pinned somewhere on DU that is nothing but "Made in America" products. That way, any time we want to buy something we can look over the thread and find something that suits our needs while supporting American jobs.

I work in manufacturing and I'm damn proud of it. It pays a living wage for myself and my child, compared to many jobs available. Yes, I work evenings but I'm home on weekends so I can spend time with the kid and we can afford to do things together. There are millions of others like me and the best way to ensure they are able to still have a good life is to buy their products.

(I'm going to look at those links when I get home from work tonight. The Salaam link might be interesting while Johnson Woolen Mills is something I've heard of before and would like to purchase from in the near future.)

5. Which would you like?

I just got home from work where I spent eight hours assembling a product. (Make that a few thousand.) Made, assembled-most of the people in my plant would interchange the two with no problems whatsoever.
