Editorial Reviews

Review

"While many have argued passionately that it is time to put America and Americans first, Roger Simmermaker, in How Americans Can Buy American, shows us how. His book is a patriot's guide to shopping. The American worker and small businessman does not have a better friend." Patrick J. Buchanan Author, Syndicated Columnist and former Presidential Candidate "How Americans Can Buy American is a book from which both union and non-union working Americans can benefit. Applying the principles in this book will help save the American middle class by protecting middle-class jobs that pay good, middle-class wages." R. Thomas Buffenbarger, IAM&AW International President "Roger, you make people think and, on China, you make people stand up! Not bad. You ve been way ahead of the crowd!" Neil Cavuto, Fox Business Network --Back Cover

5.0 out of 5 stars This should be every true patriot's second bible!, March 9, 2002

This review is from: How Americans Can Buy American (Paperback)

This soft cover easy to use compact book is a valuable reference tool for those who really desire to do something patriotic for this country and help keep their jobs!
Even if consumer's change just a few of their brand choices on even the most minimal purchases, it would all add up to a stronger American economy regardless of your political stance!
I was shocked to find out where the "lion's share" of the profits ended up on some of my former purchases!
This book gives the consumer more power to make their choices ACCURATELY and I cannot wait for the updated second edition this spring!

This review is from: How Americans Can Buy American: The Power of Consumer Patriotism - Third Edition (Paperback)

Very interesting reading and well-written. There are handy lists of American made products and Internet links. The author has his own web-site, too. The middle section of the book lists companies and their ownership, whether foreign or USA. It is just as important to buy from an American company as it is to check the label for "made in USA". I sent an e-mail to the author with my comments, and he promptly replied with a very thoughtful and interesting letter. I am happier knowing that I am buying more American products and supporting the American economy. This book shows Americans how to "put their money where their mouth is" when it comes to being patriotic. Highly Recommend! God Bless America!

5.0 out of 5 stars American-made vs. American-owned?, May 14, 2008

This review is from: How Americans Can Buy American: The Power of Consumer Patriotism - Third Edition (Paperback)

This book is an eye-opener for those who think that buying American is just a matter of looking on the label. Simmermaker's book is chock full of information about how we can support companies that are American-owned even when we are forced to buy foreign-labeled goods.

How Americans Can Buy American, now in its third edition, is the premier book on practical economic patriotism. It is obvious that Mr. Simmermaker has a fierce and passionate zeal for the economic promotion of his native land.

This book goes beyond merely compiling lists of American-made goods and services. Simmermaker has dug deep to find out, in cases where there are no American-made products, which foreign-made goods are made by American-owned companies.

In a time when more and more items are made exclusively overseas, this additional research proves valuable to those who want to support our nation's domestic economy even when they are forced to buy an item manufactured overseas.
