I'll be sure to pass this on.  Every little bit helps.   :banana:

If you know anyone that works at, runs or owns a manufacturing company in Idaho you should pass this on to them and get them on the list.

Hey for all of your fire, security, access control, and camera needs remember Alarmcoinc is a 100% Idahoan company!!  Owners are and live in Idaho, staff is from Idaho, and yes our central station is IN Idaho not piped out to MN or someplace else...sorry shameless plug but I love the extra work. ;) ;D
"-I mean I'll kill a man in a fair fight...or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight, or if he bother's me, or if there's a woman, or I'm gettin paid - mostly when I'm getting paid...but eating people alive?!  Where does that get fun?"

I saw a thing on TV about this and when contractors used only stuff made in America to build a home it was only a few dollars more and well worth it. It was supprising how many contractors didn't know they could get all the stuff they needed from American companies. We need to spread the word to everyone. If they all start using the stuff made here it will create lots of American jobs for Americans. On the TV show they even faxed the list to a bunch of contractors and when they saw the list started using right away.

GO MADE IN AMERICA
