Our Reason

Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote: "When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers."

This blog was created to give a voice to all the brave men and women of The Circle Group, and their families, who every day face the intimidation tactics of the union bullies. For months these families have watched as these union bullies have fanned throughout Alpharetta, Georgia, spreading hate and fear.

It is time . . . time to stand up and stop the reign of terror of the union bully. If a union bully marches on a day care center, this blog is here to expose the truth. When the bullies go after the neighbors of The Circle Group employees, this blog is here to expose the truth. When the union bullies taunt a grandmother facing a very challenging time and the thought of losing her husband and son, this blog is here to expose the truth.

In the end, all that matters is the truth.
