What's at Stake

2008-11-04T08:34:00.000-08:00

I just found this amazing pictorial on the working poor of Troy New York. Today as we go to the polls we have so much at stake but out there even amidst the high turnout are those on the lowest rungs of the financial scale and only one candidate has consistently talked about poverty while the other created a mockery of the middle class with the Joe-the-Plumber gimmick. Those working poor may not even know who is running but they'll certainly feel the effects of more of the same failed economic policies. Vote for change and vote for a government that works for those who struggle to keep their head above the water of this "trickle-down" economy.

Brenda Ann Kenneally captures the female working poor and culture of incarceration in Troy, NY, where the presidential race has little resonance.
