Sending an Email to Multiple Recipients - Cc: and Bcc: or on the email you want to forward hit forward> go through the email and hilight all those email addresses then hit delete to do away with them. then use the BCC to add the new addresses you want to send it to.

If US manufacturers kept all their operations in the U.S. they'd be unable to compete with non-US manufacturers who can produce goods at a lower cost. It's a global economy - goods produced outside the U.S. would still be sold here and consumers would still be scooping them up because most people want as much as possible for as low a cost as possible. It's consumers who cause us to be in the situation we are today. Businesses exist to make a profit for their shareholders - not to do goodwill gestures that result in lower profits. It's just the way things work. If the majority of people were willing to pay significantly higher prices to allow equivalent profits on US made goods then we'd have more made in the USA stuff for sale. I've read that things are changing though as third world countries advance and labor costs increase. Likewise our economy is in the tank and with 9% unemployment our labor costs could go down in some cases. I did actually find a clothing item made in the USA not too long ago - I was shocked.
