I saw this posted on Facebook...
I have been battling my friends in Miami and fighting hard to help them out of the
muck of right wing media that is being leveled on them everyday. I saw a post this morning by a guy I went to high school with who has finally become a citizen and
will vote for the first time, along with his wife, this Tuesday. It refers to utility workers who were trying to volunteer to help the repairs on the East Coast after SANDY. He posted:
Alabama Utilities help turned away by Unions in New Jersey!
And then he went on to rant the
You gotta be F*** kidding me and the democrats want my vote???? I wasn't decided how I was going to vote until now. Go Mitt Romney. I'm tired of union crap putting themselves above our economy and now the people. Democrats keep supporting you freaking unions. Thanks for helping clarify who I was going to cast my vote for.

I post his words so you can see what the result of media is. My friend is a great soul. He wears his heart on his sleeve. He is a humble and gentle man. And damn funny too!
I don't think he is in the one percent. I think he is working class. Which makes you scratch your head as to why he is so quick to demonize Obama in favor of Wrongey, but he is in Miami and obviously getting his info from some dubious sources....
I did some quick research and found the whole situation had been quickly cleared up by CBS news.... First of all... it was in VA not NJ!
The truth as I suspected is there was NO turning away. Decatur Utilities of Decatur Alabama, the company in question, DENIES the reports by local AL station WAFF that they were turned away! Of course, in typical fashion FOX news, Briebart, and the whole train of Right wing media (and probably every single MIAMI AM staion!) ran with the story hoping that this would crucify the devil OBAMA.
The Story is here from CBS NEWS
All I can say is that our Cuban community is very fractured. We have a psychological wall which is higher and stronger than the political wall. I would like to see all the walls fall in the next few years! That is one of the many reasons I support Obama and I wrote this song!
