Remember the positive propaganda the government used to turn out?

"Only you can prevent forest fires."
"Don't be a litterbug."
"This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs."

The government needs to churn out PSAs [public service announcement] to encourage Americans to buy American.

"Keep jobs at home—buy American!"
"Made in the USA: Your choice, our future."
"Support your neighbor—pick American-made!"
"Buy local, build America strong."
"American hands, American brands—choose wisely!"

It's time Americans stood up for themselves and kicked China to the curb, starting with confiscating American farmland purchased by the Chinese. Approximately 350,000 to 400,000 acres of U.S. farmland is owned by Chinese entities, sometimes tied to the Chinese Communist Party, up 82% over 3 years.

While it's true that Canada and European countries own far more, they don't target farmland near U.S. military bases as China does.
