December 1, 2008 (San Diego's East
County) — This holiday season, why not choose gifts that benefit our community and provide
recipients with gifts that are unique to East County and San Diego's eastern
region?
In today's tough economic times, local merchants need support from community
members--especially during the holiday shopping season. Buying products
made overseas or from companies that outsource jobs to foreign markets does
not help the U.S. economy or American workers. Too many people
don't realize that ordering from big box discount stores or from Internet vendors
in distant places takes business away from our local economy.

Mike Cully, president of the East County Chamber of Commerce, was at Election
Central in Golden Hall downtown as the announcement was made that Barack
Obama had won the presidency. “Drivers were honking horns. There was
so much enthusiasm,” he recalled, adding that Obama’s ability to
inspire people to work together “espouses what it means to be an American.” Noting
that the stock market rallied up 300 points upon news of the presidential race
outcome, he observed that Obama’s victory “instills hope in people—and
hope is more tangible than you can imagine. It’s what drives America--and
it’s what drives business.”
