Politics are really pretty simple
Vote for those who support you. Vote against those who do not. Do the same with laws by voting pro-worker.
But there's a Catch-22. Many of us haven't voted in years past because politics stink. But politics stink because we let it stink. The remarkable thing about the 2008 Presidential campaign is how many new and returning voters are involving themselves in the process, especially on the Democrat side.
Regardless of party affiliation, one thing is clear: Enough is enough.
Stop whining. Become a noisy unionist instead by doing what makes sense. Support those who support you. Do it by phone banking, handing out literature, attending a union meeting, or simply by getting yourself into a voting booth.
