But Back at Bout’s End Wilt Ol’ Mitt
Dazed and Confused, Battered by Barack,
Down for The Count, Sans Wit,
Punch-Drunk on Mountain Dew and Cauliflower,
Be Led, Mewling Still, by Peevish Perry
Down Under that Gilded Bridge and Tower
Where, with Faux-Friends, Foul-Feathered or Furry,
All Entitled Trolls Do Live Out Their Last,
Gorging Gluttons of The Nation’s Past,
Lolling on Lucre and Burning Tide,
Excreting Ghoulish Futures, They Bitterly Abide,
Still Gnawing on Our History’s Bones,
Their Day of Vengeance, Their Game of Thrones.

Just look at the history of our country’s Labor Law and its take over through politics (Taft-Hartley) and legal actions (Supreme Court Decision like the firing of the Air Craft Controllers, and that Stikers can be replaced, etc.) and now “Citizens United” that puts average working families at a further, huge disadvantage in political decision making by elected (bought) officials.

But, the main problem that we continue to face is that others are telling our story. Just look a Romney’s commentary. He is telling a vast group of workers that Unions are the cause of all of America economic woes, while we are saying to each other – “No we’re not!”

America’s Labor Unions have done a terrible job of telling our story and how Labor Unions have raised the standard of living for all Americans, and was the basis for an established middle-class, and pushed for workplace safety laws, and continue to argue against the “bad” trade deals that the Repos and some Democrats have enacted, and for strong workplace rights for all workers and demands for strengthend Social Security and a single payer, Medicare style medical plan for everyone in the country.

The problem is that Labor seems to have decided that we will rely on the Internet for getting the word out. It hasn’t worked. Most workers arn’t looking for Labor Union web sites in their daily searches on the internet. Our own “hit” records tells us that.

Big Business, the millionaire/billionaire funded independent campaigns aren’t using only the internet, they are spending millions on TV ads to get their point across. Labor, the AFL-CIO needs to do the same. We have the means to fund a national, ongoing advertising program and unless we start soon their won’t be a State left where the rich-rightest political powers havn’t taken a shot at passing a “No-Rights-At-Work” law.

We can fund our own television advertising campaign by asking every Union member to pitch in $1.00 a month, which would bring in over $120 million a year. At least is would be a start in telling America that we are still alive and ready for the battles that need to be fought if average working families are ever to regain prominence as the American Middle-Class.

Call your Union and ask that they tell the AFL-CIO that we need a public voice!

Mitt would have had it the other way.
