2. Yup, right there with ya, in spirit.
I don't know how many times we heard that union firefighters, union police officers, union EMTs, union nurses, union doctors, and union construction workers responded when they were needed -- they answered the call for help -- only to be ignored by the Republican Party when it came time to do something about paying for the damage done to their health that they endured while coming to the aid of their fellow Americans.

I'll never forgive the GOP for turning their backs on our first responders that way.

The politicians of the GOP are still holding up the process by adding more red tape and creating more hoops for them to jump through for paying for the hospital bills and medical expenses of the men and women who inhaled the dust of that horrific day in New York.
There's going to be a special on Saturday by Dr. Sanjay Gupta on CNN about the dust cloud that hung over New York for so long while they worked in those horrible conditions.
