Look out for American workers

Thanks to everyone looking out for our fellow Americans. As a result of our expanded unity, we continue to see positive changes happening in America’s economy. With our focus on American workers and the private sector business employing them, there has been a major increase in jobs and job skills for working-aged and able-bodied Americans.

America’s consumers are doing their part and it’s important that government officials also look to purchase even more American-made supplies for America’s public schools, hospitals, military, police, roads, bridges, security and many other projects supported by our tax dollars. This is an opportunity for United States government leaders and state-level leaders to help create a demand for products made and assembled in the United States of America.

Therefore, we are requesting that you contact your federal, state and local elected leaders, school boards and all who govern distribution of our tax dollars so they hear firsthand your support for American workers, America’s economy and our nation’s future.

The American people, as well as government officials and institutional administrators, have endless opportunities to create a demand for products made in America, simply by purchasing more American-made everything. 

Creating a demand for American made is in and of itself the most important way to expand America’s economy and create more job opportunities.

Spread the word to everyone you know because we have to look out for American workers first. I appreciate hearing from you and I welcome your comments and suggestions. Email them to Michael@AmericanWorkersRadio.com.

Way to go, Saints

As an alumna of Saint Maria Goretti High School for Girls’ first graduating class, it was a thrill to read Mark Zimmaro’s report on the recent Philadelphia Catholic League basketball title win by the girls team (“Hard work leads to Catholic League title for Neumann-Goretti,” March 5).

Of course everything about my old alma mater has changed over the years. When my pioneer class graduated, only girls attended the high school on 10th and Moore streets. There were more students in my senior class alone than fills the school today.

My own twin brother Danny went to Bishop Neumann High School for Boys. There were enough students in both schools because the faculties were mostly religious and didn’t require salaries. As time passed and the faculties became more secular, they had to charge high tuition to pay the salaries. As a result, both student bodies shrank, resulting in a merger of the two schools into one co-ed high school, Neumann-Goretti.

What pleases me most about this story is that there are enough talented athletic female students to form a real and competitive basketball team. That they went even further and won a historic victory, that gave special honor to their coach Andrea Peterson, makes this story even more spectacular!

All I can offer is my highest praise and congratulations to this extraordinary group of female athletes who earned this great honor by their fierce dedication to the sport of basketball and to their devoted, hardworking coach. Goooo Saints!
