Yes , I would have to say that I would definetly buy American. As you know the problem is that when you have your own small business finances are always to be watched. It costs alot more to make stuff in America by Americans than it does in any other third world country. Sad isn't it.

Well I will be doing the most American thing I can think of, supporting the Chinese economy and buying $100 dollars of Chinese made fireworks.\n\n\nYou don't have anything to worry about, they will never take our guns away from us.

Really, I do not think there will be much of a financial impact.\nRemember the campaigns last year urging people not to buy gas from Exxon-Mobile or not to buy gas on certain Mondays?\nDid that work?\nWhat about the anti-war protests? Any effect?\n\nI am guessing that, like most of us when we take a day off, Hispanics that take May 1st off will have to work more the day before and the day after.\n\nAt the end of May, we will celebrate Memorial Day. All government business will be closed. Millions of people will not work that day. This happens every year and somehow, we all seem to get through it without a catastrophic collapse of the American Government.\nAs for the schools. If parents are going to protest the fact that their children are receiving a free education for their children they are just ungrateful!!!\n\nIf I ran a business and people decided to take May 1st off to protest. I would fire them. I am sure a lot of people feel the same way.

They are refusing to purchase American Goods and Services. The Mexican Citizen contributes a great deal of money to the American Government. Why would they no purchase goods and services from their country? Do you know what tomorrow is about or did your parents place their half ripe ideas on you? Do you have a job? You can't say much because you aren't working for $4 an hour to support a family.

After they took to our streets, May 1, they created a backlash which they will never see the end of.\n\nThis ripple has become a storm and soon will be a tsunami of unequal proportions.\n\nThe middle class is the power class and as we unite through joining pro-American organizations and spending our money saving our heritage, we will be a force not to be reckoned with!\n\nTo quote a Patriot....."be afraid....be very afraid"

This couldn't have been done 100 yrs. ago, let alone today.  No one in the states today wears clothes made in the USA.  We are so tangled with the Global Economy, we couldn't function if we withdrew.  There  would be no cars, computers, TV, trade of any kind, etc.  if we did that.  We have to be involved.  The question is about who is making the deals we get in, and who do they serve?  Today, we have been sold down the river by the powerful and they don't care what happens to you or your country.  We  should be telling them to go screw themselves.

JULY 28TH!!  The launch in major cities across America and thereafter.  From what i've researched, it will be scary.  However, I believe it will only be scary to those who can still think for themselves.  This is NOT about Democrats and Republicans, people.  This is about what we really know about America's history and for you to ask yourself 'What if....'.  Just 'what if the message from this movie happens to be true'?  What would you do?

I agree, and think Americans need to buy MUCH less foreign goods if they are complaining about the economy being so bad.  All these companies are moving to other countries for cheap labor!!!  Please support people like butcherboy, and buy less foreign goods.

Yes. There are millions of people who would like to come to America to make a living.

IHave wondered the same thing. I think it is due to the influx of merchandise in the retail stores from China and India, etc. It seems like everything we are buying is from Asia. And don't anybody say buy American, the prices of American made goods are outrageous compared to foreign ones. I wouldn't be able to make it if I had to buy only American and most people wouldn't either.

It's hard to tell.  What they want and what they get are two different things and what they can get away with is another.\n\nAmerican citizens have to keep a close eye on them and Demand Deportation of illegal aliens.\n\nI think they are a little frightened of the public right now and will delay the immigration issue or try to sneak it behind Americans backs.  Which will be a little hard to do since so many grassroots organizations and watch dog groups have popped up.

Yes I do.100%.  According to the anti-immigrant people, "immigrants are a drain on society."  If this is true, then during the day on May 1st the stock market will surge, and the economy will boom.  If not, we prove them wrong once and for all.  We know what will happen! \n\nThe people who say that they will buy more things on that day say that because they know that this boycott will affect the u.s. economy and then they say it's pointles!Don't pay attention to them if it was "pointless"  they will not say that they will buy more things on that day.

Mexicans are not the only illegal immigrants in this country you have Asians, Latinos, Africans, the list goes on and on oh and Latinos can mean Puerto Rican, Cuban, Guatemalan, Salvadorian, etc. so please people before you begin to comment on a topic make sure you watch some news and know what your talking about so you don't sound too stupid.

It is a slap in the face to everyone who has come here and gone through the channels to become citizens.  Many people have worked haqrd to make a decent, LEGAL living here in the United States, and the illegal immigrants who have no intention of becoming legal are rubbing dirt in the faces of LEGAL immigrants.  One man comes here, fills out his paperwork, pays his dues, becomes a citizen, embraces our culture, paqys taxes, and lives a great life.  Another man comes here, gets on welfare, teaches his children to dispise American traditions, hides from the IRS, refuses to abide by our laws, lives off our tax money, and lives a great life.  Would you be happy with the other man, if you were the one who came here legally?  \n\nOn another note....\n\nWe are closing our borders this July 4th, and anyone can participate! Please visit http://www.getmycountryback.com... to get the details and fins out how you can be a part of helping to protect our borders this Independence Day!!!!!

Walmart used to have a slogan on their paper sacks: "We buy American whenever we can."  I don't think they use it anymore, I'm not even sure they still use paper sacks.  Anyway from what I understand Walmart's practice in "buying American" was that they would squeeze all the profit out of the manufacturer and force them to sell low if they wanted to do business with Walmart.  Then as soon as a foriegn company showed up with the item at a lower price they would quit buying the American produced item leaving the American manufacturer to fail.  I have heard that American manufacturers know that the quickest way to get a foriegn company to start producing cheap knockoffs of your item is to stock it in Walmart stores.  So what drives all of this carnage?  WE DO!  The American public is frantic to save a few pennies.  If we weren't there wouldn't be all of the store ads in the newspapers and on television.  "We won't be beat on price", "Your value leader", and "Garuanteed lowest prices" are all slogans far more valuable in the marketplace than "American Made".  Your question is a little like asking people to stand on the beach and join hands to stop a hurricane.  We Americans are far better served by entrepenuers who acknowledge market trends and exploit them than by those who would cling to archaic systems based on protectionism.  Find a way to create jobs in your community.  If you want my advice look outside of manufacturing anything that can be made overseas and shipped for less than you can do it here.  Information, Service, Tourism are all good areas to look into, although now a lot of Information jobs are being done in India.  I appreciate your thought, but trust me you are wasting your time.  You seem intelligent so use your brain to deal with reality instead of fantasize about a revolution that will never come.  Faster, cheaper, better has always been the battlecry of the marketplace and we aint never going to change that.
