Dear Mr. President.

Dear Mr. President,

We meet here today because one of our nation’s greatest resources is facing extinction. That resource is the American Worker and their right to Collective Bargaining.

One of your alum from Harvard once said, “A mind stretched to a new dimension, will never return to its original shape”. That statement is truer now than when Oliver Wendell Holmes said it nearly a century ago. And you Sir are one of the modern examples. Your Presidency not only stretched one mind, it stretched the mind of a nation and in turn, a world.

Therefore, I would like to take you up on a campaign promise. It was when you mentioned that you would walk arm-in-arm with us to campaign for American Workers rights. Thus far and with all due respect, your position and statements coming from the White House has been somewhat tepid.

American Workers from across the country now find themselves fighting for survival and they need your help. These same American Workers that not only built the White House where you live, but have also built millions of other homes, schools and places of worship across our country. They have also built roads and the cars that drive on them. They teach your children and tens of millions of others as well. These same Workers protect our cities, extinguish our fires, and respond to our 9-1-1 emergencies.

In understanding the massive security measures needed for a President to walk down Main Street U.S.A., perhaps there is an alternative. Send a statement of support. This would renew the American Worker’s spirit and encourage them to continue their fight. And if Oliver Wendell Holmes had it correct, it could also have the possibility of stretching the minds of those opposing Collective Bargaining.

Sincerely,
Glen Moss

P.S. If you would rather walk arm-in-arm, let me know and I will buy the shoes.
