I wouldn't boycott all American products. I think someone else mentioned this above - it's probably more effective to support and encourage ethical/ecological American companies, and boycott the rest. That's not exactly a "boycott" in my mind, but more of a way of living.
Actually ... you got me thinking about how I do my shopping. I tend to go to thrift stores first (I know you do, too), and then if I can't find what I need or buying used isn't a feasible/safe option, I go online and research, looking for local sustainable companies. If that fails (and yeah, sometimes I simply can't afford it), I do what I can. I am not perfect about this, but getting better.
