Thom Hartmann: Sensata blows up

[thomhartmann]

Joanne Penniston, Sensata worker who was arrested yesterday joins Thom Hartmann. As a single mother of two Joanne Penniston & the other workers at Sensata Technologies in Freeport, Illinois don't want to lose their jobs - just before the holidays - and they're willing to get arrested to show it. Is there any way to save these jobs before Mitt Romney's Bain Capital ships them off overseas?

2. I think the biggest buyer is the US gov. they make parts for the mliitary, among other things.

in other words, our tax dollars. They also make auto parts.

3. Mitt is VERY VULNERABLE ON THE SENSATA FRONT - Obama needs to personally intervene

So now ReThugs have figured that out that Rmoney is vulnerable on the
Sensata front, and (as reported @ above link) are openly & desperately
scrambling to "make it just go away" regardless of who gets hurt or bought
off in the process.

I've been shouting this out for weeks now, OBAMA NEEDS TO PERSONALLY
VISIT THE SENSATA WORKERS, WITH AN OPEN LETTER IN HIS HAND,
ADDRESSED TO THE ILLINOIS RETIREMENT FUND (which O supposedly
has some money in, and which also allegedly has funds in Sensata) ASKING
THEM TO INVEST HIS $11 ELSEWHERE.

Even if Obama doesn't though, that video ad that just came out on Sensate,
by one of Obama's superPACs (over which "he has no control&quot . It was
devastating. They may just be responding to that, was their wake up call
on how vulnerable Mittens is on Sensata.

BE THERE PRES. OBASMA, WITH THOSE "COMFORTABLE SHOES" YOU TALKED
ABOUT IN '08

4. Romney could so easily just call his friends at Bain and ask them to stop

shipping Sensata jobs to China. It would be so simple.

If he refuses to do that simple thing to help a group of American workers, why should anyone vote for him?

Romney cannot be bothered with helping Americans. He is only focused on helping himself and others who are rich like he is.

5. He is the epitome of gilded, greedy, godless, white male privilege maggot that feeds on humans.
