I just joined the forum 10 minutes ago and AMAC a week ago. I'm glad to be associated with a group who are fighting for freedom and respect for seniors. My main interest now is defeating Common Core in our schools. I am a member of the 912 Project, the Tea Party, and Freedomworks. I also am a follower of Glenn Beck since he started at Fox News. My finances and physical condition haven't allowed me to attend any rallies or contributed a lot to these movements, but I am spreading the word to all who will listen. I find it infuriating when people walk away when I start talking about Common Core and the damage it's doing to our kids education.

I've been a skilled tradesman all my life and only retired because I couldn't find a job. I'm disabled only because I can't stand for 8 hours anymore. I would like to teach basic metalworking skills, but nobody is teaching in NY anymore. I feel all my skill and experience is being wasted. I think I've said enough.
