American Made Heroes
says stop & think!
Don't believe all the hype!
We challenge you to listen to these thinkers presented below. Understand why they too are concerned.
There is a concerted media campaign hyping that USA manufacturing is back! We believe it is way
over-blown by self-interested parties.
To Members & Friends.
We have come to more fully understand that fixing the unfair trade issue will have the most immediate and positive impact on the health and future of the
USA's domestic manufacturers. We, along with many many highly credentialed experts on the issue of domestic manufacturing, have come to more fully
understand that it is the Peoples Republic of China that presents a very real and present danger to America's domestic manufacturers ... America's under-appreciated heroes!
We ask that you educate themselves on this very serious issue as it has already destroyed the livelihoods of many millions of Americans and is negatively
impacting millions more. We are pleased to say that awareness is growing but sadly only because current threats are now to our high technology industries
and innovation sectors previously considered safe. Scroll down & listen to the well credentialed presentations below or go to our "Hero Advocates" page.
Go to the bottom of this page to view more of the credentials of others who also agree with us in calling to preserve our USA manufacturing.

2013 - Report of the MIT Taskforce on INNOVATION and PRODUCTION
Manufacturing & Technology News reports: "MIT: America’s Manufacturing Ecosystem Has Lost The Ability To Turn
Innovative Products Into Commercial Industries"
"Structural changes in U.S. industry over the past 30 years caused primarily by the financial sector’s insatiable quest for profits have left “gaping holes” in the American system of
scaling up new technologies to large-scale production, according to preliminary findings from a study conducted by 20 professors and their students at MIT."

Andy Grove American MadeHero! Click photo for biography
"...sounds protectionist, so be it!"
Andy Grove
... an American patriot & a true American Made Hero!
Intel‘s CEO or Chairman from 1987 until 2005.
September/October, 2011 M.I.T. Technology Review:
"In an article he wrote last year in Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Andy Grove called himself "a onetime factory guy." It was a reminder that the 74-year-old
retired chairman of Intel knows from experience how costly and risky manufacturing can be. Given these challenges, Grove argues, the U.S. government should
do far more to nurture manufacturing, or else the country will face dire consequences."
"I think for every example where companies, states, cities, governmental agencies do well on this issue, our government should find ways of drumming it
into the consciousness of people who are considering building a plant or who are ready to enter a career which is not manufacturing-based.
It is probably best to look at this as a major brand campaign."
"Three people who visited Google’s Mountain View, California, headquarters while the attacks were in progress describe dramatic scenes of a company under
siege. Google “built a physically separate area for the security team,” one of them says. Sergey Brin, one of the company’s co-founders, was deeply
involved in the cyber-defense. “He moved his desk to go sit with the Aurora responders every day. Because he grew up in the Soviet Union, he personally has
a real *&#@%* for the Chinese now. He is pissed.” Caught unawares and shorthanded, the company made a list of the world’s top security professionals,
and Brin personally called to offer them jobs—with $100,000 signing bonuses for some, according to one person who received such an offer—and quickly built
Google’s small, pre-Aurora security operation into a group of more than 200." --
"Enough is enough” -- Confronting Chinese Innovation Mercantilism ”
February, 2012
Robert D. Atkinson, President, Information Technology and Innovation Foundation
"Finally, many in the Washington trade and foreign policy establishment will assert that any efforts to roll Chinese mercantilism will lead to a destructive
trade war. But the trade war is already more than a decade old, and China has fired virtually all of the shots and done almost all of the damage. Working
to roll back Chinese mercantilism is not protectionism; it is a defense of the global, free market economy."
Original fierce voices who confronted British mercantilism applauds today's patriots.
Listen to this fierce voice warning USA of a new danger!
Confronting Chinese Innovation Mercantilism is today's call to arms! ALERT!

appluads President Hockfield's focus on USA's needs.
Susan Hockfield, Former President of M.I.T.
"Bob Solow, one of M.I.T.'s extraordinary economists who won a Nobel Prize, did a study that showed that half of the
economic growth in the United States after World War II could be attributed directly to technology."
"It is a powerful force for economic growth ... but also a force for good.
American Made Heroes
challenges USA college/university students to view & see the results of government censorship
Do not over-intellectualize the threat before us. The Chinese Communist Party Leadership is no friend of the USA.
They are quite simply economic exploiters of their population. An aggressive user of mercantilism against the USA's & global economies.
Learn about mercantilism!
We are gravely concerned for our USA college & univesity graduates in that they do not understand the scope of the real and active threat to their collective future prosperity.
