Midwest Book Review Conducts Early Review of How Americans Can Buy American
October 15, 2002:
"Now in a newly updated and expanded second edition, How Americans Can Buy American: The Power of Consumer Patriotism by Roger Simmermaker is a seminal and essential guide for consumers seeking to support American owned companies, so that corporate profits stay in America with corporations (including their employees and stockholders) that pay taxes to the American government. In our increasingly globalized world, it is no longer enough to simply look for a "made in America" stamp or label.
How Americans Can Buy American is filled cover to cover with extensive lists of virtually every imaginable brand of food or household item, complete with up-to-date information on where each company is based. How Americans Can Buy American is a solid, serviceable, consumer-oriented reference and one that should be in the home of every American union member and in the reference collections of every American community library.

"...While many have argued passionately that it is time to put America and Americans first, Roger Simmermaker, in "How Americans Can Buy American," shows us how. His book is a patriot's guide to shopping. The American worker and small businessman does not have a better friend."

The Honorable James A. Traficant, Jr.
U.S. House of Representatives:
"...For years I have been working to promote the virtues of buying American-made products. 'How Americans Can Buy American' provides
consumers with the information they need to make intelligent, and patriotic, choices when purchasing anything from candy bars to
refrigerators to cars. Any American concerned about our economic future should have this book."
Pat Choate

"...The book 'How Americans Can Buy American' is an invaluable guide to consumers who want to buy products made in American factories
by American workers."
Charley Reese
Syndicated Columnist:
"...It's easy to say we should buy American but it's not easy to actually do it. 'How Americans Can Buy American' goes a long way toward turning a good idea into reality. It is essential for America to once again be as nearly a self-sufficient nation as possible. Mr. Simmermaker has performed a public service."
The Best Way to Keep America's Ship Sailing is to Buy American by Charley Reese:
"...Roger Simmermaker, the author of How Americans Can Buy American argues that it is always best to buy products of American-owned companies, even if those products are made overseas. He argues that the profits and taxes on those profits stay here and that it is easier to persuade American companies to bring jobs back, than it is to persuade foreign companies to keep jobs here.
He's right..."

Retired Senior Executive, General Motors:
"...No American should leave home without a copy of 'How Americans Can Buy American.' It is a must guide for every consumer."
Gus Stelzer is the author of The Nightmare of Camelot and Free Trade and the Constitution.
The Buy America Foundation:
"...Is this an American-made product? Not an easy question to answer in some cases. While many products fall clearly into either the domestic or foreign category, many others fall into the murky, gray area. When some parts of a product are domestic and some are foreign, how should it be classified? And what about the question of company ownership? Is a product American if it is made in this country by a foreign-owned corporation? These are some of the questions addressed in How Americans Can Buy American.
This handy guide lists hundreds of consumer products and brand names, indexed alphabetically. Both brand names and companies are identified as either foreign or domestic-owned.
How Americans Can Buy American is one of the most current and easiest to use guides for those consumers who want to make a conscientious effort to buy American."
