Yesterday, a "private investigator" who serves as the Republican Party Secretary and has warned me for months on twitter that I "was being watched," even going so far as to say he was watching what was being served for breakfast, posted a "tell all" on a San Diego Republican blog describing my so-called hypocritical lifestyle. He noted that according to the Labor Council's IRS filings that if you include family health care, retirement contributions and salary, I make a little over $117,000 a year. He went on to document the fact that I live in a very nice neighborhood - and imagined that I am lounging in my million dollar neighborhood eating caviar and drinking organic gourmet coffee. He went so far as to pinpoint the area where I live (which is easily findable on the internet).
Then, at about 10:30 last night - while my kids and I were settling in for the night - we heard what can only be described as a large crashing sound that drove me and my daughter from our rooms, thinking the other was in danger. Luckily, my neighbors came out and had actually witnessed what had happened. A sports utility vehicle had come down our very quiet street, turned out its lights, a couple young men in the vehicle stopped in front of my house (which was well lit and hard to access due to parked cars directly in front of my house) got out and threw objects at my house until they shattered the front large living room window. A heavy rock was found on my living room floor along with glass.
I am not brave. The mom who works two shifts cleaning hotel rooms at just above minimum wage so her children can eat and go to school and have a chance at a better life--she is brave. The construction worker, who shows up day after day - hoping for work on that day -and being forced to return home with nothing--he is brave. And the nurse, who works overtime so the hospital is not short staffed and no one dies; and the lifeguard who risks his life to keep you from drowning; and the police officer who loses his life for just sitting in his police car and making us feel safe---they are brave.
So bring it…every allegation, every threat, ever bad word, every mocking commentary. Talk about the house that you know doesn't even belong to me, talk about coffee I wouldn't dare buy and caviar that I could never afford. Come to my house and attempt to intimidate me. This isn't about me, or even you. This is much, much larger than either of us. And, eventually those whose hard work produces the immense wealth in this country will rise up on their own and make it about what it should be about , what it has always been about - the worker.More here:
