I supported Harkin in 1992 and was deeply disappointed with Bubba Clinton.
Harkin is one of the few strong Labor Union supporters left....in fact, he may be the last in congress. Sad to see him go, and with him the hope that congress will ever respect the rights of working people in the USA in y lifetime.
