"The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether
  man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite." 
-- Thomas Jefferson
  

Unions are growing.  In spite of an administration unfriendly to unions, America voted for change, equity, and accountability.   Twenty million Americans are out of work, medical costs are skyrocketing.  We have dangerous deficits, international disrespect, deteriorating infrastructure, corporate malfeasance, and a growing list of concerns.

George Bush and his cohorts are more interested in appearances that they are in the health, welfare, and security of the American people. 

Unions stood shoulder to shoulder with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. when we fought for civil rights.  Our rights are once again under attack and we must fight for our values.  We can remind people that unionized workers earn more money than their unorganized counterparts in any given trade or industry.  They also have more job security and control over their working conditions than those who are not protected by a union.  We can lead the way to a better America by demanding competent leadership, reasonable priorities, affordable health care, and retirement security.

The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them.

"The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. whenever evil wins,
it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact
that there can be no compromise on basic principles."

Ayn Rand
