I heard this song at Irish Fest, Milwaukee, Saturday, August 20. The singer and the song are something special and I had to find it on youtube to hear it again! The people in Village Pub were on their feet screaming for more and he followed it up with "The Diggers". Protest songs live!
THERE IS NO “FAIR” WAGE FOR TEACHERS. The closest we can come is that wage structure produced from negotiations between a strong teachers union and a powerful government body. Pitting a SINGLE employee against a powerful state government or a multi-national corporation is laughingly unfair. Only through COLLECTIVE bargaining between these entities can something approaching a “fair” wage be reached.
The Internet is being used to revolutionize societies. Tell your Congressman to rewrite the “Employee Freedom of Choice Act” so it uses the Internet to allow workers to request and conduct union votes DIRECTLY with the NLRB. Truly secret votes where employers can’t identify and fire organizers. Force employers to bargain with unions 30 days after a successful vote. Bring in an arbitrator 30 days later if no contract is in place. In 2012 VOTE for Obama, House & Senate majorities and pass it!
YouTube allows an upload to be used as a video comment on just a SINGLE posting. So please search YouTube for “Introduction to Teaching 101.mpeg”. Don’t know how much of my taxes are going to study public education, but Washington could save a LOT on consultant fees by just reading the responses to my above upload from hard pressed teachers from around the country. Teachers KNOW what is wrong with American education – career and politically motivated administrators do not.
Hey, that is my accent! :) But of a mixed bag accent after seven years living in Ireland and the UK.
Thanks for the feedback. I have a recorded another, more formal version which will be on youtube as soon as I can figure out how to put up a video with just sound.
I definitely don't want to tell you how you should express yourself creatively, but I think this could really be the anthem of our movement in Wisconsin if you make those changes. Either way, nice work.

Hey, great song!
If you don't mind some constuctive feedback:
1. Shorten it to about 3-4min
2. Don't use a fake accent
I definitely don't want to tell you how you should express yourself creatively, but I think this could really be the anthem of our movement in Wisconsin if you make those changes. Either way, nice work.
