Thousands of people are organizing. Young and old, creative, talented..some working, many looking for a job, all gathering in solidarity to support the rights of ordinary citizens and the right to have a job.
Wall Street? New York? Washington? Los Angeles?
Try Ferndale, Michigan and "the little cafe that bailed out the auto industry, one cup of coffee at a time."
It can be argued that what first caught the attention of the world in 2009 with a Guinness world record's longest continuous concert, the Assembly Line Concert at AJ's Music Cafe in our fashionable little hamlet was the beginning of it all.
While many in Washington DC and Wall Street were calling for an end to workers rights and the death of the domestic auto industry, our hometown cafe went to bat, big time. Who could forget the news trucks and crews, literally from all over the globe who came here to witness main street fight back! AJ O'Neil and the band of musicians and volunteers that joined the cry were not about to give up on their hometown. The industry took note with millions of others who were sowing the seed that the concert had planted; "cross-trickle economics."Wall Street? New York? Washington? Los Angeles?

"It's simple," AJ says when you take away a persons job here and replace it with a cheaper foreign worker, for a Wall Street profit, you not only lose a producer, you lose a member of your community and a customer." Those are my customers too, and that's the scene being played on main streets all across the USA."
So naturally, with the newest world record for longest concert pending Guinness approval for this years 362 hour epic concert, AJ's doesn't think it should wait until March for the next shift (concert). "We owe it to the country to stay focused and remind them that we know what needs to be done to fix the economy and restore jobs; stop sending them out of the country."
They've even started a counterbalance to the Tea Party called The Assembly Line Party that anyone can join by simply texting "mainstreet" followed by 41242 or by going to www.assemblylineparty.com
