Signatures Needed For EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT!
Jul 11, 2008

Hi,

I just signed an important petition to help get our country back on track, and I hope you’ll join me.

In today’s economy, working folks like you and me need a fair deal and a chance to get ahead. But some CEOs just go too far. They rake in millions while cutting back health benefits and raises for their employees.

It’s outrageous, and it’s only getting worse for working families as the cost of everything from gas to groceries keeps going up.

It’s time to bring back some balance in this economy, and that’s why I signed a petition supporting the Employee Free Choice Act, which would help level the playing field by giving workers more power to demand better wages, health care, and working conditions.

Our goal is one million signatures. Will you take a moment to sign, and pass this along? Go to:
http://freechoiceact.org/WA

We’re all in this together. And this bill is a real opportunity for all of us, by giving workers more muscle to raise living standards, improve health care, and stop outsourcing. Please, help us get to one million signatures! It just takes one minute – be sure to upload your picture, too!

GOODBYE HERSHEY
Feb 9, 2008
GOODBYE  HERSHEY   

A  sad story for those of us who remember growing up with Hershey  bars, and   
just as sad for the generations of today. What  will be outsourcing next?   
Pennsylvania is a big state,  but it amazes me in this day, how some news doesn't 
make it over  the 
mountain to the front page of our papers or the top   
Of our news hours in Western  Pennsylvania. 

Milton Hershey, this  year, will be joining H. J Heinz in rolling over in his 
grave  Hershey Chocolate  is moving to MEXICO...whoopee!  They're even 
closing down Hershey Canada.  Don't buy any more Hershey Bars. Reese's Peanut Butter 
Cup s are  my favorite and they are made by Hershey.  But, I will not   
purchase Another one! 

M.S. Hershey had a dream.. I will  buy my OWN Sugar, Milk, Cocoa beans, (all 
natural mind you!)   
and make candy...(no tariffs etc.)  EVEN during the depression...HE and the 
Company made money..NOW  some Corporate big wigs are ruining the name... AND 
the product  M.S. created... 
Please pass it  on...What a bunch of college educated "idiots".   

Thank you M.S. Hershey for all  the  things I have and all you have done for 
me and my family..."I" do  appreciate it. As for "Dick" Lenny and Company,I say, 
"Good luck you  greedy, money  lovings,  you  are ruining the 
name, the company, and MANY lives in central  Pennsylvania. 
Enough is  Enough! 

So Hershey  executives are closing plants in the US  ,laying off over a 
thousand  people, and destroying Mr Hershey's dream, all to cut  labor, material 
costs and AVOID PAYING ANY US TAXES!   
The company will save about $170  million a year, all on the backs of the 
American people.  The  top 
executives will still make their  mega bucks and the laid off workers will 
have to find other jobs,  some probably at minimum wage due to their age.  All 
this to  take their jobs to India, China and Mexico, So   
WHAT part of the "GREAT" American  Chocolate Bar is left?...NOTHING!
These countries are no doubt  laughing
at the Americans, who they don't like anyway.  How  long are 
the American people going to sit around and let big  corporations do this to us?
We must all band together and let our  Politicians in Washington know we have
had it with NAFTA,  CAFTA and "SHAFTA", and we won't  take it any longer!   

Please, do not buy any Hershey  product!  If the company wants to take the 
work to these  countries, 
then let those countries buy the product. We don't  need it!
