Reply #3: Settle, Hell No! Lets go for it all. We need organized labor now

more than ever. The tough times will give us the opportunity to make the argument for the entire package and I doubt the country will ever be more willing to listen than this year. No Compromise.
If we can't draw the line in the sand for the working people of this country then we aren't the people who promised change. Let's fight for this in the media, on line, in the halls of congress, in demonstrations, picket lines --and as Churchill said, "with beer bottles if that's all we've got." (or something like that)

We basically owe what used to be called the American standard of living to Unions which won decent wages, health care, safety regulations, etc. And union members and their families died and others went to prison in the process. We don't face armed goon squads, all we face are republicans and DINOs. If we run away from this fight our children and their children will suffer the pain and call us gutless. And they will be correct. We are talking about food on the table and coats on kids.

I am 75 years old, on oxygen, and not a rich man, but I promise to be at the first demonstration on behalf of this legislation wherever it is held in the United States.

We cannot compromise on economic justice again. We have done so too long.
