Should be less than two weeks for this.

i was hoping for some more promo for Made in USA

New legislation designed to create tax incentives for American-made products and to close existing loopholes that encourage foreign outsourcing of jobs may finally come to the U.S. Senate. Author Barr McClellan and Hannover House publisher and C.E.O. Eric Parkinson have been recruiting support among U.S. Senators for proposed new legislation outlined in McClellan’s new book, “Made in the USA,” that could spark a revival in U.S. manufacturing jobs and the entire economy.

Preliminary drafting of a bill is being coordinated with legislative staffers representing two Democratic Senators and two Republican Senators, reflecting the non-partisan nature of the action. A target date of mid-June has been set for the official presentation of the bill and the announcement of the principal Senators supporting the measure.

“This is a historic bill that will positively impact our nation,” said Parkinson. “American manufacturers and service providers need a fair and level playing field in order to compete with imported goods and foreign companies. Our existing tax codes create incentives to ship jobs overseas, when we should instead be creating incentives to keep jobs here.”
