"At the intersection 
of our values and practical
politics 
are universal healthcare,

----------- why ?
  want more health services 
or just heve the same cost more ?-----------

------ got to know 
a)what else the now un-insured 
would order up if insured

b) what they're gettin now hows it paid for ?

c) will the  social cost of what they're
 already gettin go up ?

d) who'll pay for that ? ---------------
 
improving Social Security 
- not just saving it
 so that all Americans can

------ jesus christ the SSI system 
far from needing saving
 needs a tax reduction 
AS A PAY AS YOU GO 
ITS RUNNING
 HUGE SURPLUSES 
WHY ?
WAIT TILL IT CAN'T PAY
TO BORROW WHAT NEEDED 
POINT:
OLD CUFFS HEAD'S STUCK SO FAR UP HIS RECEIVED WISDOM ASS
HE DON'T EVEN KNOW FROM THE FACTS 
WHAT TO LOKK OUT FOR  -------------


a global trading system
 that
lifts working families
 and not just corporations,

----------  GAS BOMB
     LAY IT OUT 
"DOLLAR PLUNGE " 200%

GOT THE CUTS FOR THAT RIDE CUFFY?---------------

liberty and justice
for all Americans,
------ COVERED BY RIFLE LEAGUES ----------

 and the restoration 
of workers'freedom
 to form unions and bargain collectively.
------- FINALY ---------

The right to organize 
and bargain collectively 
became
recognized internationally
 and domestically
 as a fundamental human right
 in the 1930's and 1940's.
------- jesus now its the old jim crow  analogy ------------

  That right's codification
 in this country in 1935 
in the Wagner Act 
led to the creation 
of the modern American
middle class

------- those rights were wrested from 
not voted in  
who the fuck are u
to pretend 
the present klass management
of the state 
recognizes rights ? ----------------


 The evisceration 
of that right 
over the last 25 years 
has contributed greatly 
to the pressure
 on 
and the shrinking 
of 
that same middle class.  

--------- see the silly jim crowing of wagery story here
its like 1935 was 1865
and 1946 was 1876 
  and today 70 years later 
 2004 is like 1934

whoops nope we're in deeper shit

our deal didn't start goin heavy crow till 
the equivalent of 1905
jim crow I was sign sealed and delivered by then 
brother acuff 
shit its 1935 and we iz
still goin down hill 
something tells me 
this may not be
 very jim crowish 


In independent polling,
 more than 40 million 
working
people say 
that they would form 
a union tomorrow 
if
they had the chance

------ what in hell does this 
old chestnut really tell uz ? ------- 

Imagine if even
 a fraction of
those workers 
actually were able
 to form unions.


 Imagine what a difference 
that would make 

--------"imagine all the peeeeeeeple ... "------------

in putting
working family-friendly candidates
 in office,

--------- working familly friendly ?
what's that mean
 won't fuck minnie mouse 
just cause they can ------------


 building power in our workplaces

-----love the tautology
  imagine if we had workplace power
how we could build work place power -------------

 and improving
 the living standards 
of our communities

------so smarmy
we're not about
 raising  our wages
we're about 
 raising 
 the communities well being

   this is fulsome fig leafery at its belowest level 

 the special v general conflict
 of a union struggle 
inside  a non union majoritarian wAGE community 
 
what an insult 
u can't fuckin 
tip toe past this 
or thru it  either 

 wage community envy
of union driven "premium pay"
u gotta  
face the fucker head on dip ---------------- 

Unfortunately, 
when workers do form unions 
to win
affordable health care, 
job safety standards 
and a say
in their working conditions, 

--------my god 
we're not after raisin  pay
 and lowerin  hours 
jesus u cat food eatin mee- yow-- yow  ------------

employers routinely
violate 
this fundamental human right
 by using
harassment,
 intimidation, 
and even illegally firing
workers. 

-------even illlegally firing ...
    who'd u say 
       this communique's  for cuffy?--------

It has gotten so bad 
that even Human Rights
Watch 
- an internationally respected 
human rights
organization - 

called the denial 
of the freedom 
to form unions 
in the United States 
a fundamental human rights
problem.

----- well i'll eat a donkeys pecker!!!--------


We need to bring 
this fight
 to our communities,
 and
build coalitions 
to put pressure on employers 
who
frustrate the will
 of workers 
when they attempt
 to form
a union. 

------- aahh the community 
how about usin the lady eve's
walmart  parkin lot 
"you folks need a union here pins "
 for the entering shoppers ?
how about the pitch
these below wages and no health payments 
cost you shoppers 
more then u save 
besides the profit take
any lower price
goes out the window else where 
thru a higher share on your shoulders
of local 
health costs 
school cost  
state and local taxes 
etc etc etc --------------

It is critical 
that wherever and whenever
 an
employer attempts 
to violate 
the rights of its workers
that a broad coalition 
of allies is there to hold them
accountable.
------- pure air balls
 give a hammer shot soecific tactic type
for instance will ya  cuffle butt ------------

 In addition, 
we need to let our
legislators know 
from both sides 
of the aisle 
that they
must take a position
 in support 
of the Employee Free
Choice Act, 

-------mother of pearl mesta 
teddy cross bridge's cudddle toy?
  please cuff that wouldn't do shit and you know it
try a federal wage cola and double pay over time provision -------
  
federal legislation 
that would reduce many
of the grueling obstacles
 workers currently face 
when
they seek to form a union

-imagine the wagery needs uncle 
to help form a union bull shit
we cadre 
have got only our selves 
to blame for our failure 
over the last 
60 years 
60 years
60 years
60 years
60 years ---------

 Already more than 208
Members of Congress
 and 37 Senators back
 this worker
friendly legislation.

----- yes its soo worker friendly
 it will never pass 
in its present form -------

It is critical 
that the progressive community
 takes on
this issue as its own fight

-----what issue the friendly kongress 
be kind to wagelings act  ?
or this whole shit slide above here? ---------------

 
it
 
---- it ? what it ? ----------


is a comprehensive effort 
that brings together
 so many
issues important to us:

 affordable health care,

----- affordable ?
where did you make that move
i see an attempt to shift it not reduce it ?-----


strengthening homeland security,

------what 
you got to betryin'
to  bean  me here snuffy -----------

 protecting social
security, 

addressing poverty, 

and finding a remedy
against all forms 
of discrimination 
in the workplace

------ what about writing while sleep walking ----------

We must remember 
that our best defense 
is a strong
offense.
--------yes cuff 
at long last yes
so now u got the word
captain  cream cuff 
why don't ya 
take  your huge slow 
 sweaty defensive  ass 
and plank it down 
on  some fuckin pine
 
 let the offense 
get out there on the field 
for a change 
will ya 
brother ------------------

  Restoring the freedom
 to form unions 
ties so
many of the issues and values 
we care about together

--------- restoring the unions 
to where they were in 1946 
is fuckin more like it cuff 
and we got to do that ourselves ----------
