Let's begin a list of companies who have sold out America (moved plants to Mexico and other countries), ones that cater to illegals (hiring etc.)

I've banked with Bank of America for as long as I can remember....but I will be closing my account.  

http://www.snopes.com/politics/immigration/bankofamerica.asp

I sent a complaint to customer service -and here is their response.  In light of this - I will recommend that Bank of America - should change their name to Bank of North American Union.

Americafirst: The bank of America has a lot of illegal people as customers because they don't check SS numbers or didn't. I know this for a fact because I know of several people in my area who are illegal and have bank accounts with  B of A and got their accounts with SS numbers that are NOT theirs. When they signed up for their accounts the bank did not check that their SS numbers belonged to them. I think this is why the B of A has so many Hispanic customers.  Anyone can go to certain check cashing places and get an ID card even DMV will give them to you, so with an ID card and a fake SS number they have it made !!! with the BofA that is.

3Com's sale to China outfit may be security threat

Critics worry that 3Com's networking technology could let China readily eavesdrop on U.S. domestic conversations.
By Jon Fortt, Fortune
September 29 2007: 12:30 PM EDT

(Fortune) -- When does a Chinese company's strategic technology investment become a national security risk?

Lawmakers were starting to ask that question Friday after 3Com (Charts),  a struggling manufacturer of networking equipment, announced plans to  sell itself to private equity firm Bain Capital Partners, and Chinese networking giant Huawei Technologies in a $2.2 billion cash deal

Though Huawei's share of 3Com appears to be modest - a source familiar with the negotiations pegs it at less than 20 percent - the sale, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2008, is still raising eyebrows among some policymakers.

Our American Government is selling out our security to foreign Governments. Don't believe it? Remember the port sell out.

 "The committee's review of the 3Com merger with Huawei Technology isset to begin soon, Bush administration officials say...&c." (see story)3Com, which makes firewall systems for computer protection, used by thePentagon to keep military communications (i.e. ship to ship) secure fromhackers, is being sought as a buy target by China, and our crookedcongress and president, always out to make a buck, is about to approvethe deal.

Please fax your representatives and senators with the following:
"Stop 3Com sale to China, or we WILL vote you out of office!"

Fisher Price, Mattel, Does anyone know about Campbells? I saw they have a recall, seems that usually means they are some of the traitors.

OK Friends, how about this!

I went to Fred Meyer to buy an iron and a sponge mop.

 Black & Decker, Hamilton Beach, Rival, Sunbeam & Sharp ALL Made in China!  No GE's on the shelf.  Not one brand of iron made in USA there.

And they all ranged from $14.99 to $69.99 on sale!  Don't tell me you

Mr. Clean mop - only brand they carried - Made in China!

I am SO TH0ROUGHLY DISGUSTED!  GRRRRRRR!Yell

I have a Black & Decker hand screwdriver the batteries last about a month.  So now I have one and three batteries that don't work.  B&D used to be good at one time.
