On May 1st, I will buy no products, travel nowhere, pay for no services, nor will I work.

For 8 hours.  On May 1st, I’ll remember the more than 4,000 American soldiers who have fallen, the countless thousands who have come home without legs, arms, eyes or the ability to walk.  I will remember those now in mental hospitals and all those now living on the streets, still at war in their heads. I will remember all the innocent lives lost in Iraq, children, elderly, mothers, fathers, and I will keep in mind that we can change it all this November. And I will also remember all my brothers and sisters lost while doing their jobs.

I’m planning to support the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and
Worker's Memorial Day (actually April 28th) by not working the day shift on May 1st.
