fake patriot "Chelene Nightingale for governor" seems to have so much against her even her own FEET! Seems this woman that wanted to yet raise more money to a failed campaign, "can't WALK THE WALK" AS SHE cannot continue on her "walk-athon...to gather more money to pay her expenses through the summer. Well, the old notion "Good comes to those who do good" shows how that will work against people that Do bad things. Nightingale an unemployed bankrupt individual, who has a history of harrassment toward her fellow man, has made her "own bed" and now must lay in it. her scam for money is shameful, and looks like we have a Just God!

The leadership of the US Department of Labor will always be as good as the White house wants to have an interest in the nation's workforce. That often has been very little as the agency is not seen as one of the major departments in government. In addition the employees of the agency are often not among those in government that have find any appreciation for the jobs they are doing and thus rank the agency as one of the government's worst employers. It does not have to be this way.
