In the weeks since Steve Kagen became an official cosponsor of the Employee Free Choice Act, dozens of letter to the editor have been sent to newspapers across District 8. Check out these awesome letters from union members, many of which directly thank Kagen for supporting this important piece of legislation:

How far down do you need to put a human being before ANYTHING "appears" an improvement.  Green Bay has done it again.  In their fictitious "helping hand" they have moved this family from one bad situation to another.  Possibly this family has high hopes.  As it is... I hate to rain on their parade, but seriously, is this a better neighborhood than the one they "escaped".  Won't it be a slap in the face to these folks when they find out that all they've done is exchange one ideology for another (i.e. west vs. east side or vice-versa).

Check out: Green Bay Press Gazette article.

Sure..  it's a "different" neighborhood, but is it BETTER...?   Who's running the "habitat for humanity" in Green Bay anyway..... some corporate flunky...?    Aren't there any sites available in ALL of Brown County  (for the record, I could name a few) which would have given this family a foothold.....?  A place they could cherish and raise their children knowing that their hard work is meaningful.
