I want to apologize for posting Kshama Sawant’s article about a what if..

I didn’t realize it was off topic until I read this groups does and don’ts. I saw how I brought current politics into your group, not knowing the rules for this, I again apologize . To shed some light that brought me to this group and why I posted Sawant’s piece is my background, as an old almost retired, local union organizer, president, financial officer, and other things I can not remember. Thinking it may be in line with the group.

Also along the same lines I spent my youngest years shopping with my parents in one of america’s oldest CO-OP’s which my grandmother was a founding member over a hundred years ago!

I will be more careful in the future if I post in this group again..
Thank You.

I try to stay away from purely electoral stuff.

The main host of this group is a good friend of mine named "StarryMessenger" - supporting Clinton at this time. She is a longtime advocate for workers and I believe is still in a union herself and/or active in union activities. I'm the daughter of a union member (old school from the 60s/70s - my dad worked in a steel mill in the midwest) and quite leftist in my outlook from those early years. I'm supporting Sanders. We just have a different outlook on this contest, at least at present time.

I look forward to your contributions.
