I hope everyone is enjoying Labor Day Weekend.

One might remember the three day weekend law was passed to improve the economy. 

As we enter the convention week for Democrats it is important to remember the country has improved in many ways since January 20,2012. Working Americans are making more income and the local economy is returning Made in America to the USA. We are doing more manufacturing in the USA and we are experiencing growth rather than deterioration.

We have exited Iraq. NATO in Afghanistan has changed 325,000 Afghan troops and police. The recent increase in violence toward our troops has been discovered. The Afghan leadership has lost members of families and others. They want the violence to end more than ever. The newly recruited members of the Afghan forces are being reassessed for loyalty to the outcomes of their elected government.

Our energy resources are finally taking on larger initiatives for alternatives. We have an electric car to be proud of and other hybrids coming along. As Americans we finally have a light at the end of the tunnel for energy independence with Alternative Energies.

This weekend it is time to reassess where our culture has deteriorated from the days when Labor were stars of our society.

It succeeded in replacing violent labor conflict with orderly procedures established by the law. And for decades, millions of American workers sought union representation and achieved a middle class way of life through collective bargaining....
