I've been against easy imports all along. But, the way politicians are owned by businessmen (who go overseas to get cheap labor), I doubt anything will ever be done about imports.
Craft products seem to be mostly Chinese made, but sometimes if you look around you can find stuff. But, it's not easy.
I think people see it as doing what you can where they are & going from there. I don't think anyone is going to eradicate anything in one fell swoop. Baby steps.That's why I'm a bit troubled by all this celebration of Hobby Lobby. To me it's like they are championing the American unborn at the expense of the Chinese unborn. What impact would it have if large companies like Hobby Lobby stopped buying Chinese products until they stopped their one child policy, stopped providing abortions (and some say forcing abortions), and stated treating their employees better?

People expect instant results or votes to make the bad things go away. So we sit on our duffs & play armchair quarterbacks & do nothing.Yeah, cuz the alternative is that what's happening in China could happen here too. Hopefully, we'll stop Obamacare here and maybe we can do something about overseas imports next. (That would be my hope anyway.)
If we refuse to comply, we could face $1.3 million PER DAY in government fines. Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy. Our government threatens to fine a company that’s raised wages four years running. Our government threatens to fine a family for running its business according to its beliefs. It’s not right. I know people will say we ought to follow the rules; that it’s the same for everybody. But that’s not true. The government has exempted thousands of companies from this mandate, for reasons of convenience or cost. But it won’t exempt them for reasons of religious belief.
So, Hobby Lobby and my family are forced to make a choice. With great reluctance, we filed a lawsuit today, represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, asking a federal court to stop this mandate before it hurts our business. We don’t like to go running into court, but we no longer have a choice. We believe people are more important than the bottom line and that honoring God is more important than turning a profit.

When in reality it really lies within the people's hands. Lead by sending a message & the politicians usually follow.
Everyone has to do their little bit everyday even if the situation is not ideal.
I think government has gotten a little confused in its role as well as the people.Yeah....US government was supposed to be for the people and by the people.
I've never seen such a sign at any of their stores.
I refuse to do business with a company that would assume that, because I have entered their premises as a customer, they have the right to search my person, my belongings and my automobile.
I would not allow the authorities to conduct such a search with out a warrant.
It looks to me to be something directed at employees. If that is the case, every business does it.It's their property, their choice. I guess they know they might lose some business. That sign doesn't say what the business is.

I'm going to Google this....That sign is on the front door of the Hobby Lobby store a few blocks from where I live. I agree that it is their property and their choice, and by posting that they have lost any chance at my business.

What is the context here?
Link?
Supporting China with your cash....is that really pro life?
They do but you have to look hard.I shop at Hobby Lobby and I have actually found many items made in the USA. Of course they still have tons of Chinese made stuff (as do all stores) but I have been able to buy toys and craft sets made in the USA.
Yeah. How are they going to terminate a customer? I know the company my husband works for by firing on the spot anyone who takes so much as a plastic bag outside the doors.So it's a policy for employees and someone tried to make it look like a threat to customers. LOL
