Live this Thursday 8:05am-9am on WGPA SUNNY 1100AM. Streaming live on the Internet at http://wgpasunny1100.com/
During 1st half of this Thursday’s show we will have the US Secretary of Labor for a segment, a brief discussion of co-host John Morgan’s Huffington Post series on PA Congressional races and a whole series of Labor Day union and political announcements with updates from co-host Walt Garvin.
Be sure to tune into the second segment with USA Coffee founder and President Ted Massinello. We will be talking about buying American and buying union along with the rich history of Hawaiian coffee. (I drank it and it is AMAZING!) He will give you an 800 phone number to order during the show. If he gets many orders, we may get him to sponsor more Democratic Talk Radio broadcasts.

USA Coffee Company was established with the goal in mind to roast ONLY coffee grown in the USA. It is a fact that only 1% of the world’s coffee is grown in Hawaii, and anyone not lucky enough to visit the beautiful State of Hawaii most likely doesn’t know that some of the best coffee in the world is becoming a major crop on the Hawaiian Islands replacing the pineapple which went “south of the border”.
Beware of coffee labeling that says either Kona or Hawaiian Blend. In most cases you will not find more than 15% Hawaiian beans included….But…USA Coffee Company blends are 100% grown in Hawaii.
Our Kauai blends are 100% grown on Kauai where the workers are well paid and have collective bargaining rights, pension and heath care, which needless to say is not offered anywhere in the world in the Coffee Growing Industry.
As you can see, all of our products in addition to the Coffee are also Made in the USA.
Today, more than ever, we MUST BUY AMERICAN. Our children’s future depends upon that.

About Our Coffee
At 22 degrees North Latitude, Kauai has the ideal geographic location for growing coffee. Relatively cool evenings,light winds, and low cloud cover allow for the slow ripening of cherries. Kauai’s soils are weathered,deep and slightly acidic-the perfect environment for coffee cultivation.
All processing by-products are reused. After filtering,factory water is applied back to the fields for irrigation. The cherry pulp mulch from pruning are returned to the fields as soil amendments, restoring nutrients and reducing weeds.
Water resources are reused. A efficient drip irrigation system applies water and fertilizers directly to the trees roots NO pesticides are used. Cultivation practices also have reduced the need for herbicides by 75%. 100% renewable energy. All power need are met by hydroelectricity.
The employees are all members of the ILWU and are among the highest paid coffee workers in the world. Employees receive a full range of benefits, including, dental, and retirement, for themselves and their families.
In solidarity,
Stephen Crockett
