I didn’t say it wasn’t on Free Republic, just that I had not seen it. Now I have.

I sent this open letter to Wal-Mart and all other stores that carry chinese products Saturday to every paper, tv, radio and web outlet I could find.......

[Open letter to Wal-Mart and other stores across America]

I’ve never really cared if a product was made in China or not. So long as it was cheaper, I never really even looked…..until now. I’m what you could consider a “conservative”, so this is not another typical “anti-Wal-Mart” bash from the left, but something far more personal and real to me.

First let me say that my little brother is heading to Iraq in October, so when I read the Washington Times article about China covertly supplying arms to insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan, that alone infuriated me and brought about my “NOT made in China” stance with everything I purchased.

I started doing some research and soon found out that not only did my “NOT made in China” stance benefited our troops in harms way from Chinese arms supplied to insurgents, but also for my pets health and my own as well.

I was amazed at article after article brought a new alarm about harmful poisons and chemicals in food stuffs and products made in China and I have listed some of those below.

Sometimes businesses and consumers get far too concerned with just the “price” of an item without realizing their money is going to a country who covertly supplies arms to insurgents killing our brave troops and whose products are killing our pets and poisoning our people. How anyone could buy or sell anything made in China after knowing this is beyond me.

If my brother and thousands of other brave Americans can endure what they are in Iraq and Afghanistan, the very least I can do is to look at an item before buying it to make sure it is NOT made in China.

Personally I think that anyone going to China better pack their own MREs’, Medicine and water for their own safety.

You forgot toilet paper. Never forget the toilet paper.
