  • U.S military sells out American workers
    The U.S. Air Force’s decision to award a major defense contract to a European company is unconscionable, short-sighted and borderline treasonous. These decisions show our overwhelming lack of real leadership in Washington, DC, and it’s time our elected officials stand up and demand this be reversed. The Machinists and Aerospace Workers Union is justifiably outraged at the Air Force tanker deal, and Lou interviewed union president Thomas Buffenbarger last night.
  • More on the Boeing vs. Airbus Deal
    The Air Force decision to give a major defense contract to a European company has sparked some outrage on Capitol Hill, but not nearly enough. Tell Congress how outraged you are that the U.S. Air Force is choosing to ship American jobs overseas. Congressman Todd Tiahrt is providing an opinion forum on his website and Senator Patty Murray has started a petition against the deal on her website.

Free Trade Agenda
The North American Free Trade Agreement has been a contentious topic for debate during this presidential election season. In polling ahead of this week’s primaries, CNN found most Democratic voters believe US trade with other countries costs the US jobs. Today elected officials from Canada and Mexico are meeting with US non-governmental organizations in Washington to evaluate NAFTA and develop a US trade agenda that works for people at home and abroad. We will have a special report on this tri-lateral meeting in light of the race for the White House and what means for American workers.

Your America
Give your elected officials your opinion. Send a message: Write Congress.
America belongs to each of us, uncluttered and untainted by advertising images, media bias, and corporate greed. It is an America that is full of choices and one in which we take an active role in our community and in our nation. Unfortunately, I'm no longer sure that this is the America in which we live.
