Resistance, there is such

Resistance, there is such despair in what you just wrote. . .I can't give you the answers you're seeking. I don't know of anyone who can. I'm so sorry that things have gone so wrong for you. There is nothing I can say that will make you feel any better, I know, but there are many of us who are on your side and know what you're feeling.

I could tell you I'm against the outsourcing of jobs and the importation of foreign goods, but what would that do? I am against both of those things. I'm against the corporate take-over of our country. I want our government to do the right thing and follow through on the rebuilding and repairing of our great country.

I fear for our children and our grandchildren, and I want to do something about it. I feel as powerless as you do, and the truth is, I AM as powerless as you are. But I won't give up this fight. There are too many people feeling the same despair you're feeling. I hate that it's so, and I stay awake many nights trying to sort it out. I have absolutely no power but that's not going to stop me from speaking out and feeling in my heart that we're better than this.

Because we are.

In reply to Stick with the issues,

I agree Ramona, it would have been better to have csat the spelling aside and not riased it as you did.

Jolly makes my point below……I too have always thought Trumka was an agreeable choice as spokesperson.

Show me your good works Trumka, not your good words……Then I too might find comfort, knowing my grandchildren may have a chance.

I have become more cynical after the election of Obama.

Everyday till I die and not too much longer to go, I will have to suffer because of what Obama allowed……..It's very little consolation that others are less fortunate.

Our leaders sold us out.......My future financial freedom is destroyed, and the continuation of Corporate Control is not encouraging.....Cuts in Medicare and attacks on our Social Security because of self- serving, shortsighted leadership and Corporations making record profits.

Ramona ….You didn’t tell me where Trumka stood on the issue, that’s okay, but where are you on the issue of the Exporting of jobs and do you believe the importation of foreign goods undermines, the ability of the middle class American worker to gain financial freedom?

I would surely like to know, which political party recognizes what I believe was how the middle class was destroyed how it became enslaved.

I am afraid the Democratic Party doesn’t care anymore. Why should it care about a middle class? What choice do you have; are you going to vote for a Republican?

Obama in the SOTU seemed more interested in Amnesty for foreign workers......

Telling us how we can compete in a slave wage world, because we have ideas?

They say he's college educated, but that doesnt mean he's got common sense.

Shocking Level of Influence

Best news I've had this year...I trusted John L Lewis, and I trust miners. I trust Trumka.(Actually, quiet as it is kept, I didn't trust his predecessor, but we move on...):
