"You are wrong about Trump Country"

My fellow West Virginians - I could use some help. The "blame the toothless hillbillies" crowd is out in full force tonight. Could y'all check out this post, and help me defend the teachers of our state?

Thanks in advance for your help. And my deepest thanks to any of you who are teachers or other public employees. You guys are making all of us so proud!

There are players that are literally paid to attack and discourage (dis....courage) good hearted citizen journalists like you.

I have been at this for over 10 years and have developed a thick skin because I know the future depends on good people working together to offset the messages of the greedy, the racist, the haters, and the power hungry that make up the the majority of the GOP.

The GOP has carefully crafted divisive tactics to keep the people from realizing that we all rise and sink together.

I am saddened that things had to get unfair enough for the WV teachers etc to strike; however, I feel this and hopefully more strikes are long overdue.

The GOP power grip has ruined so much. ENOUGH. It will take incredible courage, but we have to change the present system that is financially and emotionally impoverishing this nation.

The kids need us to STRIKE

I don't know you, but my heart says we are cut from the same cloth.
