Even - as 2007 passes away and the year 2008 is ushered in - our fight to crush the corrupt Lennar Corporation, Senator Diane Feinstein, Congressperson Nancy Pelosi, Mayor Gavin Newsom and his cronies will be steadfast.

But, woe to those that exploit the immigrants and this has been doing on for years - and this is wrong. It is worse when the UNIONS are behind - injustice and unfair wages and exploitation of those that are...

San Francisco always prides itself as the City that knows how. But, this is becoming a cliche with more people taking things for granted - but, when Local Union 22, 261, and 267 stooped so low to demean its membership and rake in some money at the expense of the hard working Sisters and Brothers - it was time to take action.
