WE TOOK CARE OF YOU, TODAY, REPUBLICANS
WE TOOK CARE OF YOU, TODAY, REPUBLICANS.

Your 'Right-to-work' son, who put in a 70-hour week and was still classified as a part-time worker and who might lose his low wage job because he missed a day, or simply because the Chinese will work for less than him no matter what his employer can afford pay... we made sure he at least had the opportunity to stand up to the man getting rich from his sweat.

We also cared for your youngest kid still in school - the shy one who was afraid to tell his teacher he didn't have a pencil, again, or didn't have lunch money, again, and who scored great on today's pop-quiz thanks to one dedicated teacher amongst all of the countless of other dedicated teachers you want to crucify in the name of 'patriotism' and 'laissez-faire capitalism' - we got him through the day, too.

Your elderly dad, who put off going to the doctor time and time again because he had no health insurance, and now has to deal with a raging infection that almost killed him?

We took care of him, today, also.

Your twenty-something pregnant daughter who douched with cleaning fluid trying to terminate her pregnancy because she was afraid to ask you for help and afraid of what you would say... these and the countless others whom you'd like to dispose of like yesterday's trash: we took care of all of them.

The one demand we made after making one sacrifice after another, one concession following another - the right to simply have a seat at the table when decisions about OUR lives were being made - that was just too much to ask for, that was too 'greedy,' that was a step 'over the line'.

It was a line you drew, Republicans - a line you drew because you weren't there for us.

Del Wasso,
Rockford Coffee Party
