I am a union sheet metal worker currently living in the state of Arizona that grew up in the City of Chicago. My family was a part of and my neighborhood was built from and was built on the blood, sweat of the American labor movement which includes United steel workers, United Auto Workers, United brotherhood of teamsters, United brotherhood of Millwrights and Carpenters, and the organized labor of so many others that “built the middle class”. We have watched a nationwide attack on the middle class like it has never been done before. We have watched as politicians have become “FOR SALE” as never before as big corporation buys their souls at record pace. We are watching as they attempt to snatch away the collective bargaining that was where it all started. But what they have not realized and had not calculated was the rate at which the sleeping giant would rise. We have seen it now in Madison Wisc., we are watching it happen in Ohio, and we are watching our brothers and sisters here in the great state of Michigan. Let them know that you and your families will not stand for this. You will not stand for them taking food form children’s mouths, the roof from over their heads, the medical care that your tax dollars have already paid for and clothes off their backs. We are all from different organizations but strive for the same thing. A better tomorrow for the ones we love and we have the power to send that message to every politician who has lined their pockets with the sweat of our families. “EVERY” night before I sleep I think of you, I pray each one of us realizes, “WE are in this together” and “WE can not do it without one another”. ALL of these organizations where founded by being “UNITED”. REMEMBER!!! “UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL “. Send these politicians the message that we as the voting public have and hold that power. ONE VOTE AT A TIME. Make sure each one of you affords your family and friends that opportunity to vote. NONE OF US CAN DO THIS “ALONE”. God’s Speed…
