The phrase, "Fellow Workers and Friends," is the famous 4-word speech used by the Wobblies in their free speech fights on the west coast during the early 1900s (see, Foner, Philip S., Fellow Workers and Friends: IWW Free-Speech Fights as Told by Participants. Greenwood Press: Westport, CT; 1981). I use the phrase to signify my intention that what follows on this homepage is likewise subject to the protections of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
