Can you imagine an America without a strong middle class? If you can, would it still be America as we know it?

I sent the following E-mail to Fred at WSPD.
"Magna Toledo expansion: The jobs will pay an average of $13.46 an hour for assembly workers and $19.46 an hour for skilled-trades workers, city officials said.
WOW! How many families will be able to support their families on that wage? Those jobs will pay no taxes to support your Toledo government."

Quote from Article:
The Wealth Distribution

What I'd like to know is-who is the left wing nuts' spokesperson? The names: Rush, Glen, and Levin are constantly spoken of as conservative leaders. Why is it nobody ever mentions "so and so" is the leader of left wing America? What liberal has a substantial following like these three do? You can't compare them to politicians, since politicians get free air time. So, who IS the voice of liberal America???

U.S. House Republican Leadership to Visit Columbus Next Tomorrow as Part of National Energy Tour

Washington, DC- Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH) is pleased to announce that he will host The American Energy Solutions Group (AESG) and its Chairman, Congressman Mike Pence, Chairman of the House Republican Conference, in Columbus, Ohio tomorrow as the AESG will hold an Energy Summit with leading energy experts to discuss solutions to America’s energy challenges.

Voice of America is profiling Salmenna Sedique and her new role as president of the Masjid Saad Islamic Center.

Some in the West have long held negative stereotypes toward the Islamic faith, particularly when it comes to the role of women. But if one woman in Toledo, Ohio has her way, that is about to change. She was recently elected president of a local Islamic center. She oversees the operations of a community center, school, and mosque, including the activities of the Imam. Her goal is to show the non-Muslim world that women of Islam can do and achieve anything they want.

I just saw this on 13abc's Web site, they are reporting that Jet America is down for the count-they have suspended all operations.

Snowball sums it up nicely:

America's poor donate more, in percentage terms, than higher-income groups do, surveys of charitable giving show. What's more, their generosity declines less in hard times than the generosity of richer givers does. (link)

WARREN - It didn't attract a crowd that covered every blade of grass in downtown Warren's Courthouse Square, but as one of the organizers suggested, Saturday's middle-class worker rally was a start.

Former Obama for America field organizer Chip Collis has been named Campaign Manager for the Mike Bell for Toledo campaign.

Collis worked as an Obama Organizing Fellow in Toledo and then became manager of the Obama campaign offices in Defiance and Williams counties. There, he produced the largest gains over the John Kerry 2004 vote total among all Ohio counties.

Collis will oversee all field operations for the Bell campaign, including direct voter contact, volunteer organization, scheduling, data base management and headquarters operations.
