GOP has Buyer’s Remorse

Mitt Romney has no chance to be honestly elected for he has no solid base. His so-called base is very uneasy about his religion, his ability to make decisions and stick with those decisions. His inability to stick with decision means there will never be stability in long range planning. No one can be sure what he would do in one or four years down the road. And when the oligarchies invest millions and millions of dollars in something they expect a greater return on their investment. This explains one reason why Romney is flip-flopping. The GOP money people are starting to get nervous, which is good for us 99%, but we must not back down on our agenda and stay focused on winning. When the GOP is losing it makes them do more desperate things. We should keep the pressure on, but not scare them into some crazy response that Democrats will have to respond to. At this time we, the 99%, might just win the presidency and enlarge our numbers in the Senate and House, and ultimately gain us a majority in the U.S. Supreme Court. We always look at the long-range consequences when making today’s decisions. For the home stretch, we should educate our friends and families, invest whatever we can in time and money and not let up until we have voted and got everyone we know to vote. This is our last chance. If we don’t win we are looking at 30 to 40 years to recover to where we are today.

Senator Bernie Sanders & Team

The AFL is with Senator Bernie Sanders and it is the people’s only chance to push back against Elon Musk, who wants to dismantle our government. Musk family is said to have left South Africa because they could no longer exploit The native/black Africans so he bought Trump and now he’s laying waste to America in the name of progress. With Senator Sanders’ leadership and backing of all labor unions, we could put together the whole of 99 percent of the people and beat back the 2 percent destroying we what once had and stood for while also saving Social Security, healthcare for all, elder care, child care, while working on the climate change crisis (we are running out of time, as the weather is showing us). The workers need to go big, such as a four-day work week like other countries have; universal basic income (UBI) and Medicare for all for unhoused people, which would help get them off the streets. UBI goes right back into the local economies, which supports jobs for the other working p...

It's Time To Pick A Side

It’s time to pick a side. You want to have and keep unions with good wages and pensions, then it’s time to pick a side. You want to keep Social Security for yourself and family, it is time to pick a side. You want to get or keep Medicare and Obama’s Affordable Care Act, then it’s time to pick a side. It is us against the billionaires. The very rich got that way off the backs of workers, and now want to strip everything away from those workers. It’s time to pick a side. The very rich can buy countries, then make the people get on their hands and knees and grovel and beg for scrapes that usually go into the dumpster. It’s time to pick a side. Is this what we want for our family and our future? It’s time to pick a side. Get ready to fight for you and your families’ lives. There is no middle ground with these greedy people for they want it all—all the money—all the power—all the land so where does this leave us when they have all the commons, like water, land and airways? It’s time to pick...

Now is the Time to Prepare

I hope that I am wrong, but what I see at this time is our unions are going to be in the fight of their existence. This is the most perilous time of our life. The life we had is threatened like never before. Unions are the largest organized group of people who can save our country if things keep going the way they are heading at this time. We need to all stand together for power, but we each must prepare and plan to take care of ourselves and our families. We can fight the big fight and not be distracted by worry about things that can and should already be taken care of. For instance, stashing at least one month’s pay and at least a month or even a year’s worth of food, whether the food is staples (pasta, rice, canned goods) and meat or chicken in the freezer. Keep your vehicles' tanks full and if possible a gas can full. It’s in your best interest to also save money for house or rent payments plus extra. This is not new thinking for us old trade workers who had to prepare when...
