Harlan County USA - A Documentary

This is a documentary about the mine strikes of Harlan County, Kentucky in 1973 where the laborers and miners of Harlan took on the mine owner, Duke Power, and his henchmen and formulated a strike with a move to form a union.
It isn't easy to find but it is sure an eye opener because every bit of it is real. This is a story of people REALLY FIGHTING for their jobs.

If you can find it, watch it - you will never forget it.

If you can't find it - and things keep going the way they are -

you don't have to worry, you'll just live it.

There Outa Be A Law.....

President Obama - Rebuilding America

President Obama has the overwhelming support of the American people and is doing exactly what he said he would do in his campaign. How refreshing to listen to a President actually talk about the issues that affect America and Americans. All the last president ever talked about were the, and I qoute with a twang, ..."The Iraqi people...".

The biggest joke of all is the anti-crowd - mostly national republicans - howling about "too much spending". It is very interesting and EXTREMELY TELLING that PRIOR to January 20th, they never cared or said a word about spending.

STARTING WITH CLINTONS LEFTOVER BUDGET SURPLUS, they let the deficit climb to a Trillion dollars and never even burped.

This "spending" is for the American people and America itself. I am sure we spend much more each year on donations to other countries.

Why cry and complain about spending now - the one time when we spend it on AMERICA and the very people who supply the money through their taxes, instead of half way across the world or for some undeserving corporation??

The national republicans look stupid and foolish. Almost downright anti-American. Everything is for the party, no matter what the cost to America. Partisan politics at its worst.

Talk about Niro fiddling.

It's Important To Do It Right The First Time

Take The Boys And Circle the Wagons; The Dag-Gone Unions Are Comin!

This is the kind of corporation counsel crap that is out there in regard to the Employee Free Choice Act. The possibility that the American Workers have been pushed so far down that they MAY now actually decide to form a union - to protect each others self interests - is down right frightening to these rich, corporate hacks.

After all, the last thirty years of union bashing, outsourcing of American jobs and the downward spiral of wages has been excellent for business.

But the chickens have come home to roost.

In a nutshell, your average American worker isn't making it, haven't for some time now and if any are making it - they are barely making it.

Listening to the corporate spin against unions got the American workforce screwed. They actually convinced hardworking Americans to believe that banding together with their co-workers was a bad thing to even think about doing. The boss will take care of us all. Right Enron? Right IBM?

Our grandparents thought just the opposite. They knew that banding together was the ONLY way the working people would survive.

Their grandchildren have been lulled to sleep.

The fact is when union membership was climbing - so were wages. And when union membership fell - so did wages. CASE CLOSED.

SO LISTEN TO THE CORPORATE SPIN KIDDIES WHILE YOUR GRANDPARENTS AND GREAT GRANDPARENTS ROLL OVER IN THEIR GRAVES.

We are now at the point where you will see that the next great generation will be the ones who bring American unionization rates back to higher levels than ever before. The passing of the Employee Free Choice Act will help that move along.

No matter what some suit says in a video.

This, along with incentives for corporations to invest in American manufacturing will be what saves America.

The Trickle down effect turned out to be worthless as pisswater.

It's That Time Again....
