Downsizing and determination

by Cicily King—Ohio

While canvassing in Newark, OH, I signed up a woman who was disabled. Her husband is the bread winner of the family. While signing, she told me about how he worked a factory union job for 18 years and they closed down due to outsourcing. He now drives an hour each way to work in Columbus and provide for his family.
