Please feel free to forward this to others.I warmly point out that I and the Gus Hall Action Club, a Marxist-Leninist Communist club in Minnesota, attended several public meetings about the scheduled to close St. Paul, MN Ford Twin Cities Assembly Plant and--in opposition to the plans of the wealthy developers and the Chamber of Commerce--put forward the view that public ownership of the plant would prevent the plant from closing and guarantee job security for the workers.Our primary concern--above everything else when we think of the plant--should be saving jobs at the St. Paul, MN Ford Plant. And public ownership and nationalization of the St. Paul, Minnesota Ford Twin Cities Assembly Plant is the answer."Our position is--make the monopoly corporations pay the tab. If the corporations say they cannot operate--which is fakery in 99% of the cases--then take the operation over. Nationalize the industry...If (a corporation) disregards the wishes of the people--take the operation over." (Gus Hall, "Capitalism on the Skids to Oblivion")We invite you to take the following resolution to your precinct caucuses. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of working-class people, Minnesota and our nation.Resolution on the St. Paul, MN Ford Twin Cities Assembly Plant/Hydro Dam and 2,000 Union Jobs.Where as Ford Motor Company has stated it's intent to close the St. Paul, MN Ford Twin Cities Assembly Plant, sell the hydro dam to a foreign corporation, and displace two-thousand workers in the near future without consultation from the workers, the community, or local and state governments;Where as this plant, its operations, and the hydro dam have recieved continued support from every level of government including tax-payer funding, tax breaks and tax abatements under promises to maintain manufacturing operations and with assurances workers would have job security in St. Paul, Minnesota;Therefore be it resolved that public ownership should be used to save the St. Paul, MN Ford Plant, hydro dam and two-thousand jobs.
