Dear Mr. Obama,
I am seriously interested in working in your administration. The lack of blue-collar workers on your staff shows me that someone like me is definitely needed. The white-collar government has lost touch with the blue collar America that financially supports it. The loss of so many blue-collar jobs brings to point that you need the opinions of your average blue-collar family supporter. Who, by the way, still doesn't feel like they are being heard. Your average blue-collar worker works and earns barely enough to keep home and food for their families. Mean while you have corporate officials making enough to run a small country.
Who better would know the questions that need to be asked than a blue-collar worker would? What do you think would be the reaction of these CEO’s?
I grew up to a family on the welfare of the sixties. At the age of 12 I struck out on my own and lived on the streets of Pueblo until I was 17 when I started a family with a abusive husband. My husband, having come from more than modest means, farmed my cleaning services out for years until I finally broke free from him in 95. I professionally worked my business and got some good breaks in 2000 when I picked up some larger contracts. My new husband and I work together and have managed and even expanded during the Bush years. We even expanded enough to have employees for a short time until the NAFTA and The FTA of 2002 caught up with us. Then the rubberstamped visa’s started taking away our work.
Seeing that I have started (literally) at the bottom of the food chain, I have clawed and chewed my way up to a position where I might feel comfort and security. This puts me with a unique perspective and a lot of questions that are on every working class family’s mind.
Do these CEO’s or even people in your administration worry about there own health care? NO!
Do the same people worry about putting their children through college? NO!
How many cleaners have these people asked their opinions? Most don’t even speak to their maids much less a lowly cleaner. We are the last to get paid and the first expense to get cut.
This makes me believe that I am qualified because you need someone from the bottom of the food chain, in you pursuit on changing America back into a Country " For the people, By the people".
This is not a joke! This is a very serious request to be a member of your administration.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Rebecca A. DeRosia
