“Hand over that clipboard!”

by Nabil Cristillo—Pennsylvania

It’s a nice spring day in Swoyersville, a small community devastated by job loss. I walk up to an older couple who are sitting on their front porch enjoying the sun. I began talking to them about the jobs that had been outsourced from the area. The couple both got up and said, “Son, hand over that clipboard and let us join the fight!”

After they signed up, the husband told me that his son had a job that sent him to school and paid half his tuition, so that he could work for them. Their son graduated from school only to find that the business was moving their operation to Mexico! This guy thanked me for the work I was doing and told me that if anyone on the block gave me a problem to tell them that Mark said to sign up.
