I am a resident of Seattle but originally from the gulf coast city of Mobile, AL. My parents were both blue collar workers, my mother a teacher and father an electrician. Because of unions, they were able to provide for my brother and I and give us a chance to make a better life for ourselves.
This site was started because I have grown frustrated, and well angry, at the government and the attacks on the working class. The fact is, after the bailout in 2008 and tax cuts given to the wealthy in 2010, I have been watching the very people and corporations that put us in this situation get even more rich and the gap between us and them growing even larger.
I would love to hear from you guys. If you want to share your story or you find a story in the news that isn't getting the publicity it should, let me know and I would be happy to help get it out there.
