eternal vigilance

Eternal vigilance is the price of Freedom. 

Failing to heed these words is at the root of most corruption within labor unions.  Somehow we forget that the very collective action that gave a labor union its strength must be carried forward for the life of that union.  We hand off our responsibilities to a few "leaders" and eventually they seize control. 

Just because it has always been thus does not mean that it has to.  If I accept corruption as being inevitable, it will be.  But if I continue to fight to educate people in ways of good collective government, then we might one day see change.

Dear Friends;

We could, in all honesty, say essentially the same thing about any organization that has been initiated by mankind for the benefit of mankind.  For the record I have read and lived a goodly bit of history.

Regards,
R. E. (Dick) Driscoll, Sr.
