Dear Senator Clinton:

Where are you, Senator Clinton?

I know you must be concerned. You must know that we are in day three of a transit strike in New York City. New York is the largest city in the richest country in the world. You are our senator. I'm sure you feel kinship for the striking TWU employees.

So I went to your web site, certain I had missed a statement you probably made. I poked around, I didn't see anything.

It's here for any intrepid reader. Maybe I missed something. If I did, please forgive me.

Our fellow citizens are striking to remain in the middle class.  This has become an increasingly impossible task in America.

They vote. You ignore them, and everyone who supports what their strike represents, at your own political peril.

I've read quite a few diaries about the NYC transit strike.  Seems there's not a lot of sympathy or support for the transit workers among some progressives.

Funny how my nine year old friend understands the national ramifications of the strike.

He was understandably elated that he would be going to school two hours late. He also understands the significance of the strike.
