About Me

The purpose here is to urge Midwest Americans to unite for our own benefit. As Americans, we have been politically and economically exploited so that other parts of the United States can grow and prosper. We have lost our jobs, our families have bore hardships, and our quality of life has declined so that others can have more. The Midwest is the backbone of America, and in some ways, even the world as a whole. NE liberals do not represent us. Southern and Western conservatives do not represent us. So we must stand for ourselves, or continue to decline while others advance AT OUR EXPENSE.The Midwest, in this group, is defined as any U.S. State or Canadian province that is : 1) directly adjacent to the Great Lakes 2) directly adjacent to the Ohio River 3) directly adjacent to the Mississippi River above the Ohio River.Are you tired of wildeyed Texans, wacky Californians or liberal New Yorkers representing the views and activities of the Midwest? I sure am. Our quality of life, and the future of our children are at stake. We need to unite for us! Join me! Bill Jones
