The Ludlow Massacre's tiny monument off I-25 in Southern Colorado is easily missed if you don't know where to find it. Though the nearby coal mine garnered international attention in 1914 after a government militia slaughtered union organizers there, the minimalism of the memorial is predictable. [RETURN TO ARTICLE]

Yea, good ‘ol Colorado. Try to find the site of the Sand Creek Massacre on the map. Until 1988, it was on the Rand-McNally road maps, but not since. Same with the Ludlow site.
Look, we need to have legislation to over ride section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartly Act . Don’t know what that clause refers to? Well, the Wall Street Journal sure does. Google it, and read their recent editorial on just this topic. They are really scared that the Dems will gain seats in both the House and Senate this fall. Probably won’t get to 60 in the Senate, but if the economy keeps going south, just maybe.
So look it up, 14(b) has to go!
