The Shirt Heard Around the World: America has Returned
An Article Written by: Josh Miller

We are a nation of entrepreneurs; we have our dreams that are unique to each of us. How many times have you shared an idea with a friend, and your friend tells you that this has already been done? You simply tell your friend that your idea is going to be a little different, and it is going to change the future. That is the exact spirit we inherited, and that is what has, and always will keep America alive.
The age of the entrepreneur is here, and we must make sure we give our entrepreneurs a chance to start their ventures here in the USA. This is not a pitch for lower taxes, less regulation, or vice-versa. This is a message to the world that a movement has arrived.
America has returned, and we’re ready to get to work. Nothing is going to stop us. We must tell President Obama, and Congress, to get their act together. Our future is much more important than a 2012 election. Whether our future leader is President Obama or Governor Romney, our message shall not change.
I hate using this phrase because I believe it is highly overused in the world of politics, but we are at a crossroads, and we must decide our fate. If the Olympic apparel story has taught us anything, it is that our voice can, and will be heard, if we speak loud enough, and speak on a united front.
Keep dreaming because that is what keeps America strong! We must continue to find that next frontier.

Here in my house, we are very pleased that SOMEONE finally heard our voice. I hope this turns the American people around (including our government) to start shopping made in the USA.
223 “Likes” in one day is pretty amazing! Thank you Margarita for posting this article. I will continue to write more as the film continues to progress. Thank you for all that you do to raise awareness! :)
Not sure how many people will get to read your article but thank you.
everything we use every single day is made overseas.
I wonder if we even notice that portion of every dollar spend part off goes overseas. We need to help our economy therefore every dollar has to stay here in the U.S.A. If the white house is too busy working to be re elect lets start now buy “America made product”.
otherwise china soon will own U.S.A. (maybe already does) but lets no give up and keep on trying till our last breath.
Its up to the people. You and I. To make sure how many people get to read this article. Not downing u. Judy stating the facts. Judy help spread the word. I’m tired of seeing foreign made stuff. At my workplace. We have a flag of the untied states of America. Flag is made in America. But the pole the flag is attached to us foreign made. How is that right. Makes me sick. Please spread the word. Thank you and god bless. ( America )
Judy is supposed to be just. Stupid smart phone. Lol. Sorry
No. Amway for me. I will not enrich the mormons or republicans.
I am proud to say that Amway is a business that has kept their manufacturing jobs in the USA, in the state of Michigan.
However,when they open in a country they usually have to build mfg facilities there to comply with the laws of that country. Interesting that many countries protect their jobs that way. Wake up America!
No Amway for me. I will not enrich the mormons or republicans.
Thanks for what you are doing and glad that people are being aware and outraged that our Olympians aren’t being garbed in American made garments. If you look close,my name is on the brick wall of Liberty Denim Mill,for all the good it did ;-(
We believe in this country, you and I. We care about the people in this country and the future generations that need us to continue the effort to prove it can be done. We can create jobs and we can do it now. Thank you for your efforts to convince people that we need to do it now. Best to you my friend.
We didn’t forget. Our representatives sold us out with every donations accepted from a lobbyist and money given to their campaigns. They voted THEN sold it to their constituencies or kept their heads and hoped the villainy went unnoticed.
We didn’t forget, especially when we listened to news reports of the rise in employment and prosperity of other countries as cities and states were being devastated here at home.
We didn’t forget. We continued to vote for the very people that continued to tell us tax breaks and more tax breaks and zero taxes would create jobs here. Instead it enriched the very rich and killed the middle class.
The President is very proud of the manufacturing jobs growth here in America and has been pushing for it and putting in Tax credits for those companies. He also highlights manufacturing jobs every month. The President is not not doing all that he can for small businesses and manufacturing. If some of you would give him an honest hearing you would check the facts of job growth in manufacturing to stop lying on this President that has accomplished so much in the face of no assist from the republican congress. He has done a phenomenal job on his own. Imagine what could have been done had the republican party helped him. The Transportation Jobs bill on infrastructure repair would have created jobs for millions…millions. Boehner wouldn’t even bring it up for a vote.
The Republican Party Motto: “Keeping millions out of work to put one man out of a job”. They’ve had the bill for almost two years. Two Years. Imagine the number of families that have lost their homes. The number of H.S. grads unable to attend college.
Don’t lie on the President. Attack him on his record, but please don’t lie on him.
Josh great article. I will be posted it, along with the link on my page and in my member groups. Thank you.
I love made in America. I, personally, will not support companies that want my money, while dividing me from my fellow Americans. We are all in this together. We rise together or we fall together, because not one law that touch me don’t touch them. There are those that don’t realize when they vote for tax breaks for companies, they are enabling those companies to outsource THEIR jobs. More tax breaks don’t help American jobs, they harm American jobs. The companies get tax breaks here and outsourced tax-free profits.
President Obama has the right of it. Give tax breaks only to the companies that bring the jobs back to America, create jobs for Americans in America. Give the money to the companies that understand patriotism in context. You give at home FIRST.
