Many are painting it in a nasty way, but people need to think. Loyalty is something we are missing, that is loyalty to each other. We have become so me, me, me that we forgot that this is a country of WE. What is good for our neighbor is good for us. That is the backbone of Unions. It is the fabric of Communities. It is an idea that has been disappearing.

The loyalty to the idea that was forged in three very important documents has been disappearing through time. It was not an idea of loyalty to government or a monarch, but to each other. Over the roughly 237 years, the idea of this loyalty has been under attack by a small number that would like to be the ruling class. In the last 15 years, the idea has been put to the test and is been made black and blue in the fight.

This proclamation made by President Obama is a good thing. We have a Labor Day already, but a day to remember that without loyalty to each other, we have no Unions, we have no workers right, is something we need. We need to remember the idea of this country is one of a loyalty to one another and that loyalty can and will bring the Unions back, force the top 1% to pay their fair share, and get us back on top.

So, Thank You Mr. President for helping us to remember this and place a day to help us always to remember!
