did y'all know Arlo was a Republican?

[jguth3]

Not anymore!

He tried that. It didn't work.

He thought those guys needed some good guys over there.

It all comes down to the "people vs the big corporate guys."

Some body said, "We have the best congress that money can buy."

Not to be cynical but Gibson outsources a lot of jobs to China. Are the Arlo and Woody Guthrie signature models "stickin' to the union?"

[jguth3]

Dfrye4,

Arlo plays Gibson USA brand guitars. We are aware the The Gibson Company does outsource to other countries. We however do not play nor endorse those guitars.

Thank you for your concern.

I'm the daughter of a steelworker; I know the importance of unions...I just wish everyone understood why they matter.

GO UNIONS....Go TEAMSTERS!

Without unions ...you can see now where we would be....EVEN management...All our rights comes from the fights the Unions won back in the 1930s...before and since. Democracy=Unions.

So awesome, thanks for sharing, love Woody and Arlo! I got my first union job at 16, traveled the country as an organizer and represent workers today (37 years later). . Oh, and I don't care if you flame me, I am a union maid, and proud of it!

Please, please, no!

I have always relied on this famiiy and have so much more as the clan expands.

Right turns and U-turns work only to maijntain the hierarchy.

[diddymuck]

@9duryea9 you're mean. Whaaaaaaaa. Sniffle.

@diddymuck

Your're a rather stupid f-ck to even imagine that the regulars on this conversation wil give ou slightest attention. Youi're busted ..

Meanwhile, all others, well, bloom

Working my whole life in health care, I have never been fortunate enough to have a union job, but Mrs. Psycho is a retired mail carrier, and I sure know what difference it makes to our lifestyle to have a union worker in the family. It is always a pleasure to say to insurance reps, "Well, my wife is a Fed," and hear them walk back their promise of better health coverage.

And I still hold out hope that my own industry will be organized before I retire.

@oneofakindaheadnmind Arlo Guthrie in Colorado Springs? That is, these days, a trip into the lions' den. Hope the Dominionists don't lynch him!

[oneofakindaheadnmind]

As a disabled retired UNION Postal Worker.I am Union all the way! I have a great retirement due to the Union! I am going to see you Arlo, tonight in Colorado Springs! I am soo stoked. Can't wait to hear Alice's Restaurant and some of your fathers wonderful songs! Peace Brother!

@ejmilchak Ron Paul is a racist nutcase, and Arlo wouldn't have anything to do with him.
