I am not a crook!

Would it surprise you if someday you hear President Bush make the same announcement that Nixon did? If he does, I think it’s going to fall on a lot of deaf ears.

We now know that he lied about the reasons to go to war in Iraq, and we’re now finding out that he had much more information than congress did when he asked for their approval.

Now we hear that the President has approved unwarranted wiretaps on U.S. citizens. At first he claimed that it was just a select few. Now, we’re hearing that it’s been in the millions, and it’s been going on for years.

The FISA courts (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) can give permission to wire tap even if the president did it for three days before asking their permission. But he broke the law and kept doing it without the necessary warrants.

Is it be possible that he was spying on the AFL-CIO? Our Union? The Democrats? Or You?

At a rally in Chicago on January 6, there were dozens of signs calling for the president’s impeachment.

Today, I got a call from the President of a Steelworker represented foundry in Warsaw, Indiana. He told me that the Kimble Glass Company is moving to Mexico, where labor costs including benefits will be $2.93 per hour, and to China, where labor costs including benefits will be seventy one cents per hour (.71). This foundry was the first industry organized in the Flint Glass Workers Union in 1949.

It does make a person wonder how much more the American people will tolerate.
