Joe the Plumber

Watching the news this morning, it was clear that the biggest topic in last night's debate was a man referred to simply as "Joe the Plumber." Joe the Plumber is a man from Ohio who was mentioned roughly twenty times during the third Presidential debate.


Those who have been involved in the KMOM organization know "Joe the Plumber" as one of those volunteers who goes above and beyond to help make KMOM a success. Our "Joe the Plumber" is Joe Martin from Soloman who too is a plumber. While a real person, the Ohio Joe the Plumber represents an ordinary American who faces the same real struggles that middle-class America faces.


To us, "Joe The Plumber" of Soloman represents the spirit of giving that is exemplified through so many KMOM volunteers. Yes, there are dentists who come to every event that we hold. But too, there are general volunteers who show up every time and do far more than we could ever give them thanks for. So to Joe the Plumber (Joe Martin) thank you to all that you have done to make KMOM a success. And to all the other "Joe the Plumbers" out there, we couldn't do it without you.
