Take the fight to Washington

Take the fight to Washington

EDITOR:

The retirees are fighting for what they have worked for and earned over the years and now is being taken from them.

Workers have taken concessions only to get a slap in the face. I watched the Delphi workers’ rallies in downtown Warren and the fair on TV. Stop wasting your time. There needs to be a nationwide march on Washington D.C. as soon as possible. Let your voices be heard. Foreign imports need to be stopped. Now that’s the real problem. Congressmen don’t feel your pain. How could they after all they get a big pay check, great benefits and perks.

Martin Luther King had the right idea when he marched on Washington D.C. The man made his point. There is an old saying, the wheel that squeaks the loudest gets the most grease.

When President Nixon was in office he had Henry Kissinger traveling to China to wheel and deal. Before the Americans knew it, almost everything we bought was from China. Then Clinton put the finishing touches to the manufacturing jobs with NAFTA sending plants to Mexico.

We import the cheapest steel from China, when we made the best steel in the world.

Our steel mills were the heart beat of this country where was the big labor who was not paying attention to protect the working force.

If you don’t watch the store the old saying is you might just get robbed and that’s what happened in this country our workers got robbed.

This is our country, which our grandfathers, husbands, brothers, sons, etc. fought for.
