4. Unions and the Law

Since US unions gained the right to collectively bargain under the Wagner Act Labor law has been corrupted, so that at this point unions have less representation of work force than when they were working outside of the law and illegal.

In this small town I get contacted regularly via internet by those who have became most recognized as the US's "left" for the most part they are clueless about what they are talking about and have no ties in the community as they are all out of town automatons who can not even call someone up for a real relationship and conversation.

So if you see any of these OWS, 99%, Move On, ACORN types tell them I serve strangers refreshments on the porch while I wait in exile for a real progressive American dialogue that is sorely lacking.
