I'm writing from Michigan and don't know the situation in Southern California, but it struck me that activists there might consider trying to encourage the striking supermarket workers to demand that the Democratic candidates, especially Kerry, support their strike. If they get any real support, that will help the strike. But that is unlikely. So the demand may help move workers toward an independent workers movement.
Now...do you really think that this clown will support anything that involves the people when he is just the other side of one ugly coin ?!
