Most of us know that something just isn’t right. We can feel it in our gut that the America we were lucky enough to be born in doesn’t feel the same. The American Spirit, that sense of patriotism that brought us to attention for a passing American flag, has been dulled.

Wisconsin Protesters
To the Editor:
Many of the people protesting on Saturday don’t even understand what they are doing. They talk about “Worker’s Rights” (which I support). But they have been duped into protesting for public sector “Union rights”, the right of unions to conspire with politicians against the interests of the American people.
President Franklin Roosevelt said it was wrong to unionize government workers because they are supposed to serve the public. He was right. The public sector was unionized about 50 years ago. Unionization has led to union leaders and politicians creating an increasing number of safe, easy and often low value, well paid unionized employees whose union dues are funneled back to the politicians. It is a vicious cycle. Politicians are supposed to represent the people, but they ignore the good of the people to reward their union supporters. This is corruption pure and simple.
