Issue a Directive to The National Park Service to require products for sale to be Made in America Only!

Created by K.S. on September 23, 2011

We as Americans love our National Park system. All of the concessions in the parks buy/import most of their products from China. We have in place Federal bid requirements to "Buy American", why do we not have this same requirement for all the concessionaires? The mandate for the park service is: "As stated in the Concessions Management Improvement Act of 1998, concession operations "are consistent to the highest practicable degree with the preservation and conservation of resources and values of the park unit." I do not want to go to Yellowstone Park and by a reminder of my visit that is marked "Made in China". This needs to be changed! This will help create employment here in America. Thank you.
