H.Res. 705: Expressing support for the designation of a “Buy American Week”. This is the kind of support that America needs!

"Buying America Back " author Alan Uke is currently working to get Congress to declare the week of July 1st to July 7th an official Buy American Week. It won't be passed in time for this July but we are excited to say the resolution Alan Uke helped write has been introduced to Congress and referred to committee!

For every dollar Americans spend on Chinese goods, only $0.25 is returned. It doesn't take a math wiz to figure out that eventually we're going to be pretty short on cash.

The American Revolution was also about economic independence from a foreign power. Remember the Boston Tea Party? If everyone were to focus their attention on buying American products and avoiding imports from countries who shun our exports, we could make a real dent in this country's economic problems.

Alan Uke, the San Diego entrepreneur who created the federal smog index for automobiles and author of " Buying America Back", is declaring the week around the Fourth of July as Buy American Week and urges all Americans to do their patriotic part to bolster the American economy by buying goods made in the United States.

Alan is asking Congress to pass a resolution for Buy American Week, part of his growing campaign to bring attention to our country’s trade deficit.

An amazing review of Buying America Back. From the review: "Every once in a while, you'll stumble upon a book that significantly changes the way you see the world. This is one of those books."

"I already expected something interesting after seeing endorsements from two famous people who rarely, if ever, agree on anything: former Green party presidential candidate Ralph Nader and the very conservative congressman (and former House Armed Services Committee Chair) Duncan Hunter. That makes this book's ability to exceed my expectations even more remarkable."

Could better labels on products like food labels shrink the trade deficit? That’s the argument Alan Uke lays out in his new book, "Buying America Back". It’s a practical solution that puts the future of this country and America's prosperity in the hands of all Americans.

Alan Uke talks to KUSI News "Good Morning San Diego" about his book, "Buying America Back" and about a group preparing a bill in Congress with Congressman Brian Bilbray to change our product labels.

Uke explains that the government and people of countries that are doing well right now have a preference for their own products, and how when we buy products from countries that do not have equal trade with us, the money leaves the country and does not come back.

U.S.-based manufacturer, Alan Uke, makes the case for moving your money to Made in America and provides the point-of-sale labeling disclosure solution to give you this job-producing information. Vote with your pocketbook for a more self-reliant U.S.A. closer to home and your ideals. The kinetic Alan Uke wants to label America all the way to really "Made in America".
