Save American Manufacturing (SAM) U.S.A. is an Aurora, IL-based group that has as its goal, "building public and government awareness of the devastating effects the increasing economic trade deficit with China is having on U.S. businesses." They want to "provide solutions that will re-establish the United States as the manufacturing leader and promote reinvestment in the American labor force." To accomplish its goals, the group advocates letter-writing campaigns to local and national political leaders, and supporting, opposing, changing or repealing laws that it deems harmful to those stated goals.
Among its objectives is to change current tax laws that act as incentives to locate U.S. production jobs overseas, support legislation that stops U.S. companies from incorporating overseas, oppose trade deals such as NAFTA and the FTAA, increase defense manufacturing and other legislation that supports U.S. manufacturing.
