Put Authentic America Made Products in our National Park Gift Shops! Using Presidential Executive Order power.

We support HR 2595 American Parks/American Products Act which would require items sold by Natl Park gift shops to be produced in the United States. However, we know that it has little chance of passage in a divided congress. We ask that President Obama use the power of the executive order to change the current and future supervision language over concessionaire contracts supervised by the Dept of Interior. The DOI and NPS has failed to make sure that these retailers are following the NPS concession guidelines in a way that benefits the local economy and presents products in an honest and transparent way. The contracts "encourage" the sale of American Made goods, but imports are more profitable. Resolving this problem would restore 50,000 artisan jobs lost in the last decade. Thank you
