Here is a way to avoid supporting unfair trade practices. Buy from local business! I have maintained for years that the box stores are out of touch. Yes you can get cheaper products, but the quality trade off is awful. It seems like every week there is another recall from a product that was made in China. The product takes away from the job market in the states. Unemployment is getting worse, not better. Because the jobs are going overseas.
I believe in "mom & pop" shops, they deserve our support. The money spent in those local venues, tends to stay local. The trickle down effect puts items on shelfs in food pantries.

The criteria for this groups members. 1. Must be 51 percent owned in Dane Country 2. Purchasing decisions have to be made in Dane Country.
This is a great idea.
