UnionReview.com should have a better forum in place than the one that it has. The thought is that if we had a better forum, more people would use it over the one that we have.

We're also exploring a way for the UnionReview.com crew to start taking online actions with emails to companies, Senators and Congress members. This is a ton of money - at least the option I am looking into, and I am exploring either free or less costing stuff. The one free option that I found, Citizens Speak, seems OK, but there is no way that I know of to upload the few thousand emails on our list. Hmmm. 

There is also a need for merchandise. There is still a bunch of hardhat stickers available (if anyone wants one, let me know- Richard@unionreview.com), but I am getting asked about T-shirts and hats, bags and other stuff with the UnionReview.com logo on it. I can't afford all that stuff right now to re-sell it, but eventually we'll get to that. I am in talks with a few places about setting up an online store on the site so that people can just order stuff as it comes available. That technology and manufacturing of good USA-Union-Made-Stuff ... is costly. Right now all the stuff we are getting is either at very low-cost or donated from Ethix Merchandise, see their ad on the right-hand side of the site. 

Finally, I am working on an inexpensive newsletter that can go out from the site on a weekly basis with the Week in Review information -- and I can use some help there. I need to get a segment of the back-end of the site reconfigured with the members information -- and then get the system to push out the email.

So, though times are tight and everyone is struggling to one degree or another, if you can afford anything to the cause at hand, it would be unbelievably appreciated.
