It is a very good article and it says it all. This is what America is about and was built on.

Default Great article

Thanks for the link Zerbie!

Here's a tidbit i came across today in the intertubes:
"Sarah Palin needs to remember that Jesus was a community organizer. Pontius Pilate was a governor."

Thumbs up Right on mark

A great link, Zerbie. I work in a grassroots organization to help create independent media so the concerns of poor and working people are present. They are community organizers in every socioeconomic group becasue the mainstream establishment has forgotten about the every working person.

I will read it again and email it to a few friends.
