“ABC World News” Invites Viewers to Have a “Great Made in America Christmas” — Are You In?

Have the store advertise which products are made in America. If we know where they are, we will buy them.

You bet I’m in, here’s the but, Why hasn’t the challenge been given to Walmart to stock Made in America products so I can find products to buy. The great American store where all Americans shop. ARE THEY IN?

How about a list of clothing companies made in America. All I can find are overseas clothes.

Hello Diane. I would just like to say I love this great country. I am very proud to be an American as well as ex military however, we have a huge problem in this country. I feel the whole buy American hits the nail on the head. Is there any way we can get a big American flag on American made products so when the average consumer (myself) can identify American made easily. Given the current unemployment rate and condition of our middle class…I would be more than willing to pay more for American made but most of the time I do not pay close attention. Let’s have it loud and in the face of Americans year round. Surely big American companies would find it extremely beneficial to have a big universal emblem that all use to let us know what we are buying.

Thanks for your time,
The little guy

I am ordering Wrangler Jeans for my Husband ,they are American made. Pam Green Mt. Washington Ky.

I’m in! I made a discovery that could have a significant impact if the word gets out. How many batteries will be bought during the holiday season? I purchased batteries from Lowe’s (headquartered in North Carolina). Energizer batteries are Made in the USA for Energizer Holdings in St. Louis, Mo. Even the best electronics will not work without batteries. Let’s all buy USA batteries.

Loved this story, but why does buying a car made by one of OUR American car companies not get attention??? Our whole family buys ONLY Ford, GM or Chrysler products. We are Americans and it is embarrassing how unloyal people are when it comes to this purchase. We could make a difference in this country if people would stop giving money to foreign car companies. This is a topic that should be stressed more in this country, especially in this economy. I am proud to drive a Ford and truly feel everyone driving a foreign car should be ashamed. Buy American & be proud !!

Cinda B purses, bags and accessories are made in a factory in Indiana and they also re-hired all of the former employees after another purse manufacturer (Vera Bradley) moved their operations out of the US! That’s putting people back to work!

Nourish is a store in Savannah GA which is local, green, privately owned and operated and makes the most delicious soaps you will ever find. With scents like vanilla chocolate, cinnamon oat, ginger lime, coconut almond, and many more, you should be able to find a great hostess gift or party favor, and they are only $6.00 apiece with flat rate of $5.00 for shipping. Check them out on-line at nourish.com. They have other home made items as well.

I’m in. Spent $240 on Florida grown citrus for family and plan on everything else being mad in America. God bless America and God bless the American worker.

Please start a page that lists American Companies that make items in America!!! I have gone to two separate sites now that state the companies listed are made in America – but when you go to their website, items are made in other countries and distributed by this US Company. One site stated – we assemble in America. So where are these Made In America companies????

Our christmas cards this year came from an artist named Pat Richter from Batavia, Il. I chose them because they are printed in the USA. and the are charming.

Was very glad to see that our favorite Thorlo socks are totally American made! Also bought some nice long-sleeved tee shirts from All American Clothing Company. Looking for toys now!

I bought Whitman’s chocolates in June of 2011. To my surprise and joy there was a small, yet impressive paper inside the box proudly stating chocolates and box were made in America.

Howdy, My wife and I have 22 grandchildren and we went to a local art show in League City, Texas to buy our Christmas gifts. Not only are the arts and crafts made in America — their often made by local folks. We bought all 22 a “Letterscape”. This photographer goes around Texas taking photos of things that look like letters. We chose our favorite pictures to spell the grandkids’ names. We also bought these hand-painted Santas that are painted on a cypress knee from straight out of th swamps in Louisiana. Local art shows are a good source of Made in America items.

Not only are we in, and buying, but we took the logo from the ABC story, and made buttons that we are all wearing on our clothes while we are out. We’ve had tons of people in the Boston area ask about them, and we get to start a conversation. USA all the way!

I purchased blocks made in America for my grand child…I can trust their quality. No weird chemicals or weird colors/dyes. My grand daughter deserves the best America has to offer. At this time I am making a list of American companies to share with my 6th grade students. We owe it to our country to support our own economy.

I’m proud to be an American and am disappointed at so much emphasis placed on foreign products & foreigners. Thank you Diane and your crew for taking the time to promote American made products. This country use to be self-sufficient and can be again! Most products I have purchased made in foreign countries are inferior to American made. Yes, I’m in. I plan to buy as many American made products for gifts as possible. Our media needs to continue to push this idea all year long. Our government needs to take a look at the imports and do something about it. We are making other countries rich and hurting our own economy!
