Political Quotes

“Think about how those in my generation; I am 55, on my way to 56. I am one of those baby boomers who was born at the beginning of the 1950s, grew up through the 1950s and 1960s. And think about what it meant in this country for hard-working families to have organized labor on their side. Think about the factories, the manufacturing, what it meant to us as kids to have 'Made in the U.S.A.' And what the contribution organized labor and the growing rights of working families meant to this country. This country and its great prosperity that some are enjoying today was built on the back of an organized labor movement throughout the 20th century. And in my particular State in New Hampshire, some people say that the organized labor movement isn't as large as it is in other places. But it is certainly vibrant. But it is not just the organized labor movement we are here to talk about, because really, the Employee Free Choice Act is about all working families.”
