[Kadie]

Bradley Combs of Cincinnati, Ohio holds a sign during a rally opposing Senate Bill 5 that would weaken unions, at the state capitol in Columbus, Ohio, February 22, 2011.

1. That's the stuff

Hey Gov. Kasich, why don't you go down there and try to take away Mr. Combs' union card? Maybe the Kochs will give you a dollar for trying!

2. If he'd dressed as Moses that would have been the icing on the cake.

5. Not for me - would have reminded me of Heston.

I like the way this guy looks. A real working class Joe with a hardened set jaw. Be still my aging heart. ;)

6. The face of Solidarity.

19. I like the way he looks too.

He means business and it's hard to argue that he's not a working man. He looks like it.

29. Looks can be decieving.

My dues receipt, however, is not deceiving.

3. Great pic too - love that expression. He ain't fooling around. nt

You are repping all working class people and I wish I could be there from 2000+ miles away.

I'll be there with you in spirit and if this bullshit comes to my state.

Working Class Heroes are something to be.

Now, is there some abbreviation I use in my subject line if I don't have any text in my message?
