The true story of Joe Hill, IWW activist and songwriter.
(IWW = the folks that brought us the "weekend", and the 8 hour day, and bought it for all of us with their blood and prison time.)
A history lesson in a song... written by Phil Ochs, performed by Billy Bragg.

I heard the Tea Party Mistress saying the minimum wage is getting in the way of employment in this country and needed to be gotten rid of.
They're doing their best to make the US another banana republic.
The time is NOW folks!

AMAZING AIN'T It ?
Less and Less information about liberal or left politics via Google.
Try Sacho and Venzetti from Google, then try another Search Engine.
Funny isn't it ?
Time to go underground friends.
