CESAR CHAVEZ

Cesar Chavez a labor leader and civil rights leader in the sixties is being honored by the navy by naming a support ship after him. Controversy followed, who would have guessed. Duncan Hunter Jr. a conservative congressman from California doesn’t like this; he states this is a political statement. It would be nice if we could take him at his word, but the conservatives have been trying to discredit and even take Mr. Chavez out of text books for years. If you have been following the news lately you know that the Republicans have been waging an all-out war against labor as a favor to big business.Why would they want to honor a labor leader. This is just another petty attempt to do away with something they don’t like.
