Wind power is a no brainer: it gives our country energy independence and also gives hard-working people good jobs. Anyone who tries to stop these projects is no friend to workers. rhodeislandcurrent.com/2025/06/30/fou…

Happy 4th of July Brothers, Sisters, and Siblings!  Today, let us remember these wise words by Teddy Roosevelt: “It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize."
