It was announced Sunday by Marathon County Labor Council President Randy Radtke that Republicans were not invited to take part in the Wausau Labor day parade. While some seem to take this as an extreme measure I see it as sending a message to those who are in office. The Republican Party has shown complete disregard for the workers and middle class, so it seems fitting that they are to be omitted from a celebration of labor.
What Mr. Radtke is saying is that the leaders who have shown complete disregard and disrespect for the middle working class are not welcome. He didn’t say if you support the working class and are Republican you’re not welcome. This issue is coming down to the middle class making a stand against what they see as an ongoing attempt to lower their standard of living. Too many people this fear is very real they see it every day and read about it everywhere.
Frankly I am encouraged by the fact that these people are taking a stand and joining their voices together to make a very important statement. For too many years the public has stood by and allowed the takeover of our government by extremist views. It is refreshing to finally see people taking an active role in the governance of this nation. I salute the Marathon County Labor Council and back their decision to exclude anti-labor leaders from the parade.
