"There is a long and storied U.S. history of populist uprisings with social justice messages for tough economic times: from the 1776 Declaration of Independence: "When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them..." to 1895 and William Jennings Bryan's Cross of Gold speech: "The man who is employed for wages is as much a businessman as his employer..." to today.

"But no-one has made the American economic justice case better than Louisiana Governor and U.S. Senator Huey Long..."  The rest is here.

The other day, I struck a chord when I wrote about Occupy Wall Street, evoking Huey Long's advice. The featured post on Huffington Post Politics also made Louisiana political news!

Time to move to NOLA. But, seriously, I hope you will read the piece, and share it on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc., if you are so disposed.

As always, thanks for reading and best wishes.
