For all the Americans barely making ends meet, who have been left behind in the ashes of the Great Recession and whose struggle goes unnoticed. For the brave men and women who fought for our country and whose patriotic sacrifice has been forgotten by society. For the families who have lost a loved one to street violence, addiction or prison. For those who worked their entire life for a company only to be told they were no longer needed because their job could be done cheaper somewhere else. For those who worked hard to support their families and put food on the table every night, played by the rules all their lives and who have watched the promise of the great American Dream slip away right before their eyes. For all those suffering in the shadows, whose plight has been the human consequence of reckless greed and neglect....
This is for you.
