The CARTOONS - A Common Theme Emerges

We try to run a few political cartoons in every issue of Winds of Change, but this one is different - the tragedy at the Sago mine, followed rapidly by five other mining deaths in WV and Kentucky, has sparked a common outpouring the likes of which we have not seen in some time.

Perhaps, if cartoons on one continent can rouse millions of people to defend their religion, then cartoons like these can rouse Americans to demand that the government do its job with regard to protecting miner's health and safety.
