Labor and LABOR RIGHTS are a democratic value

[nadinbrzezinski]

Look, I understand why the POTUS has not gone to WI... It is about separation of State and Federal issues. So until Walker breaks federal law... or a Federal court orders Walker to do things and he refuses...

That said... the POTUS should be saying a few more things than he has. Sorry, but the silence from DC is deafening. It is also quite revealing about the actual priorities of the Centrist Democrats, and we the people, the WORKING people are not it.

So yes, we have a few other matters that they need to pay attention to. Among them Libya, the mess in Egypt, Citizens that need evacuating... I get it.

We have a Federal Government that WILL SHUT DOWN... that is what Boehner and the rest want. I get it. But the message from DC is buzz off. We will only call you during election time. At least from the office of the presidency. When the rubber meets the road that is when you find who your friends truly are. And the WH is not one of our friends. I understand why I will not vote for a republican EVER, but damn it man... Wisconsin is NOT further than oh Cairo... you dig? And we the people need YOU to speak and be loud about it. Listen to some tapes from FDR if you need to... but we need YOUR VOICE... this is YOUR PEOPLE, the ones that elected you.

Oh and to all going but the Republicans... they will anyway... and you know what? It is time to stop fearing the bully and stand up to them. That is why they get away with literally... murder.

1. Keep ALL politicians away from worker struggles n/t

[old mark]

2. K&R- We are talking about basic HUMAN RIGHTS-to dignity and

fair compensation for work. The politicians are the ones not honoring their contracts with the workers, and they are totally repudiating the idea of a social contract between the state and its citizens.
The right is always talking about a revolution to take back the country, and it seems they have started one, but not the one they intended.
I favor solidarity of all working people in the US to stand up for rights and jobs and for truth and honesty in government at all levels.

not bloging on actual leading edge history.

Oh and married to a Union man too, even if his union sucks... it is better than no-union.
