The Idea

Struggling American Workers Coalition started due to this rise in fuel costs. I remember when gas was 30 cents a gallon, you could purchase bread at 5 loaves for a dollar. A candy bar was a nickel and a soda pop was 10 cents. Nearly everything is at least ten times as much now as it was back then. A family could live comfortably on a single income, but those days are long gone. Back in 1978 I went to work as a welder making about $13.50 an hour. I worked that job for 5 years until the crash of the steel industry put me out of work. I worked in a number of different trades until recently I got a welding job that paid me $14.00 an hour. When I saw that I earned a 50 cent raise in income over the past 30 years all I could feel was anger. And on top of that I either worked a minimum of 50 hours a week or I didn’t have a job. The irony of that is if I didn’t work the over time I wouldn’t survive. Overtime should be a luxury not a necessity. That was when the idea of SAW Coalition was born. I thought wouldn’t it be great if millions of

Americans grouped together and forced the Government to take action on our behalf, instead of feeding themselves on corporate greed. Now we are in big trouble!!! Not only are fuel costs rising, the cost of everything else is following suit. That is, everything except what you and I make at work. Corporations are seeing the highest profits in history, yet were giving them 700 billion dollars of our tax money. That money should go back to the American tax payer and go into the system from the bottom up. The bottom is where the real problem lies. Who is watching out for our right to live a quality life? “No One” This trend has not only got to stop, but it needs to be reversed. It won’t be long before this trend has our public servants changing labor laws so our children’s children are having to work jobs so their families can pay the bills. Help transform our country from Corporate America, back to America.

Web Site

This web site is interactive with a blog to share thoughts and ideas. Every month there is a news letter written on the most discussed topics on the blog containing facts and possible ideas of solutions to the problems facing us. Also for starters I have compiled email addresses of high ranking government officials, News media shows, and corporations. Members can copy and paste these names into an email along with a prewritten letter to all of these people demanding change for whatever topic is of our choosing.

My Current Ideas

1. A staff of members working towards the coalition missions, and to help you with any needs that you have.
2. Meetings with Government officials that are backed up by American workers.
3. A SAW Coalition office in every state so that we can communicate with all levels of Government.
4. A Non Profit Foundation based on giving back to the American worker. Any member will have access to these funds. My goal is to see if those fortunate people that you and I have helped get wealthy by purchasing their records, supporting their sports games, watching or purchasing their movies, purchasing their pay per views, watching their television shows, or any other activity that has made them extremely wealthy, to give back the American workers that are struggling to get by.

In Progress

Struggling American Workers Foundation is currently being designed:

1. A Non Profit Members Health Insurance Compensation Foundation designed to compensate for the poor coverage of medical insurance you get from work.
2. A Non Profit Give back to the American Worker Foundation that will give all members a refund based on a split of the total money in that account every three months.
3. A Non Profit College Foundation that will help those members with college expenses, tuition, books and supplies. This includes those parents who are paying for their children’s education.
4. A Non Profit Mortgage Foundation to help members in jeopardy of losing their homes.
5. A suggestion board so ideas are better recognized.

All of these Non Profit Foundations, will be funded totally on outside donations designed for the more fortunate to give back to the American Worker. All funds collected from membership fees that exceed Coalition costs will be transferred to the Foundation. Foundation amounts granted will be based on the current funds available. I know what has been lacking at every place of employment that I have ever worked at, but if you have other programs that would help you can blog your ideas on how to save members a few more dollars, no idea is impossible.

Membership Fees

Member fees are to cover the costs of the Coalition. There are no fees for the first month so read the first news letter and blog your thoughts and ideas. Fees will be $5.00 a month and you can unsubscribe at any time.
