Talk it up, Tony…..your effort will eventually swing itself behind the push
for the A M P U T E E U N I O N O F A M E R I C A!!! Only this kind of
solidarity and taking charge of our own destiny has been shown historically to
be truly meaningful. Where are the union organizers???? You yourself Tony are
an organizer type but you haven’t yet found your slot. Come on over all the
way to our side, your side too, Tony, and organize the AUA!!!! Feel that
tremor underfoot??? That’s the industry members quaking in their boots at the
mention of U N I O N. G.Boyer.
