the top 10 reasons to cosponsor my 1-800- Buy-American bill. No. 10, the bill pays for itself. No. 9, it passed the House last year overwhelmingly. No. 8, no government bureaucrats. No. 7, no more Ross Perot specials and graphs. No. 6, the Chinese are coming. No. 5, it beats all those 1-900 phone sex calls for your family. No. 4, the American workers demand it. No. 3, Japan hates it. No. 2, it should be a part of the Contract With America. And No. 1, David Letterman is absolutely fed up with those Chinese toasters. 1-800-Buy-American, H.R. 447, passed the House, the Senate did not show the wisdom. Cosponsor H.R. 447.
