I know where Congress is and have seen the Morales crew with cactus in tow. Your comentary is second to none. You have the views of the common people and the voice and structure to get it out in the main stream. You are a true AMERICAN. Our country has gone by the wayside. Your show is the best and your site is great. I will be awaitting your next epic adventure into the depths of we as working class people need to do to get our country back on track and out of the pockets of the govenment.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you again. You have made us feel like WE are on top looking down at the corporate office monsters for once. You say where would the United States be if laborers, like me, didn’t exist? I say where would laborers, like me, be if you didn’t exist? Thanks for all your dedication.

Be true to what you pursue.

My dad was a farmer, farm had been in our family over a hundred years when he died of a heartattack at the age of 44. He left behind a wife of 29 who was six months pregnant with the sixth child. My Dad and my Mom worked hard – Mom died at 72. We kids were rasied learning that you work for what you get, you give to those less fortunate and to love America!

Mike, thanks for keeping blue-collar American in the lime light so that more folks are aware of those who work and toil and get very dirty to provide a better life for us all!

You are an awesome story teller! I could feel the heat rising, taste the arid air and know the dehydration. We used to go 4 wheeling and drink a 1/2 case a beer and never pee! Thanks Mike! I am sitting here looking for a job when I stumbled on your site. It gives me plenty of fuel for thought. I am a 56 year-old female and trying to find a job. I love construction and have worked contract administration for agencies but my favorite was being on the job site in the construction hut with the guys and hearing their stories and going on the work site. Food for thought, I would love to find a job like that again. You are an inspiration and maybe I can get more creative in my job searching. Thanks for the story!

Go out there and participate outside of ones own comfort zone. Be part of the solution, instead of waiting for another to think of a solution. There is a solution to almost every dilemma, but if no one attempts to produce a resolution, then the problem will remain.

I think that this is only the first step, but the most important step to creating a nation that truly aspires to benefit everyone.

One act, one person can become a catalyst for a better tomorrow.

I wish the best to the campaign

A student, a son, and a future leader

Mike my writting prowess is nil, but I think what you want to put in motion is maybe the finist movement I’ve seen since civil rights, and can only wish you the best.

His recollection of ‘the birth of this site’ was wonderful to hear in his own words. It could serve as an inspiration to many of our present and future workers. The work ethic, determination and dedication to performing a job ‘well done’ is defined in his testimony. Well done! Kevin Dobson

You have such a way with words! And that voice–I could listen to you talk all day! Thank you for sharing your inspiration with us and for bringing that story to life.

Happy Anniversary! Look how far this site has come in just two years! Cheers! Whether you realize it or not, you are just as much an inspiration as Dave Morales. 🙂

Sincerely,

Melissa
