Save New York Jobs, Support Buy American!

 buy-usa

New York is one of America’s greatest cities. Many of the notable landmarks that make this city great were built with American hands using American products. But those strong and enduring monuments were not confined to just New York. You could find them in Oswego and Plattsburgh and Jamestown and Liberty. They were the memorials of our history and the bridges that took us to places we did not know how to spell. They were the buildings and shops filled with people and storefronts filled with dreams.

Now those dreams have been covered with sheets of plywood, the monuments are crumbling and our bridges are deteriorating. We can stop this but we need your help. Contact your State Assembly and Senate members to help pass “Buy American” bills S-7206 and A-9521. Click Here to send your message and ask them to support the hard working men and women of New York.

In an attempt to be fiscally responsible, America is making judgments that some of us may consider to be morally or economically unacceptable. In order to save a few dollars, potentially inferior products are being purchased while the stimulating effects of what million dollar projects can have on our communities are being ignored.

In New York, we need co-sponsors to help pass “Buy American” bills S-7206 and A-9521. Ask all of your members to take action now, as time is running short this legislative session. Click Here to send a message to your State Assembly and Senate members asking them to support the hard working men and women of New York by co-sponsoring and voting for this vital legislation.
