I saw this recent article which pointed out that as a candidate Obama had said he would be "on the picket line" if unions were threatened. His tepid response so far, got me to send him a note at whitehouse.gov:
I'm disappointed that the President, once again, is allowing the Democrats to distance themselves from organized labor. The increasing gap between rich and poor -- where both the Republicans and Democrats have cast their lot with the rich -- is destroying the country. Unions are one of the last remaining counterbalancing forces.
The President said he'd be "on the picket line" if unions were threatened. It's time, Mr. President.
On a related note, the Subject widget on this form doesn't list any lines that seem appropriate for discussing labor or unions. Is it "Job Creation"? Not really. "Civil Rights"? Maybe. I picked "Education" but it's yet another example to me of how your administration is ignoring the people who voted for you.
