Readers of the Michigan progressive blogosphere are probably familiar with FarLeftField, a small blog that focuses on the issue of labor and the economy here in Michigan. It's written by a good friend of mine, and one of the strongest advocates of organized labor and the auto industry that I've had the pleasure of knowing over the last couple of years, Mike Huerta.
If you watched CNN on the tv or checked out CNN.com, chances are you've read about Mike and local Saturn dealership owner, Sherrill Freeborough and how their lives, and the lives of so many of us in the Lansing area and across Michigan have been affected by the economic collapse of the Auto Industry.
CNN's John King was in town last week, and had the opportunity to speak with both Mike and Freeborough about what life is like for them, and how it's been for most of the rest of us. Check out the story and video here, and be sure to catch the choice words that Mike has for those Southern Republicans who'd like nothing more than to see us all fail.
