I don't shop at Walmart, Petco or Petsmart so I wouldn't know...

"There is a bill in Congress that will remove the country of origin too!!:eek: "

Seriously? So even if we start to buy USA made products, we won't be able to find them because the country of orgin will be removed? I need to make a call to my congressman and ask him to not allow this. I don't want to buy from China- bad paint used on human baby products, bad doggie treats...they're slowly trying to kill us!

*gets on soap box* We need to stand up for us, start a "buy USA" campaign and do that...help the USA and support the USA by purchasing USA products from USA based companies...Not the companies that left us in the dirt for cheap labor, to name 1 reason companies gave for moving to another country. I do my best to buy USA based products. When I have to contact them by phone due to a problem I'm having, I have someone answering that barely understands english. :( This really frustrates me!!!:mad: *hops off soap box so someone else can jump on*

yes, the WTO is against the COOL (Country of Origin Labeling).
Here's just one article about it but there are others:
WTO rules against U.S. country-of-origin label - All We Can Eat - The Washington Post

I hope this never goes through or will will not know where anything is coming from!:mad:

Ya know the only time I have ever been in chain together bangels was for standing up to the WTO in 2001.

They're evil, I'm sorry more people don't see the WTO for what it is.
Fair trade world wide is slowly making strides despite their billions trying to crush it.

Let me say one thing about Walmart. Most people say they don't treat their employees well. From my view point they treat treat their employees better than most department and grocery stores as well as other employers. I saw under employed people at my work place daily. The Walmart employees were the only ones with health insurance. Many people work daily but their employers make sure they work just under the amount of hours it takes to get benefits. These people want to work for a living and because they do they end up unable to provide for themselves much less their families. If someone gets sick it can cost a couple of hundred dollars just to treat an ear infection. Walmart employees are about the only department store or grocery store employees that have health insurance. Other stores only give insurance to managers and department heads. Walmart has refused unions into their business and this has incited a lot of untrue propaganda about the chain. People who are low income have to shop at places like Walmart and I don't fault them for that.
I do fault a government that has sold out it's people to another country so they have a limitless credit line to borrow money they can burn and then send the bill to what is left of the working class.
By the way....sticky notes......no forests in China to make paper.
