Clearly the national Teamsters recognized what Local 407 had long known--that Sam Theodus was an incredible, compassionate, and dignified leader.

He was the top vote getter for the position of vice-president in that election.

That was the essence of his legacy, fighting for the democratic principles of improving the representation of his fellow Teamsters.

He fought to introduce rank-and-file elections for national Teamster offices, an idea that was considered impossible at one time.

He was dedicated to the advancement of ordinary working men and women, and he dedicated his life to improving the lot of others.

C. Sam Theodus was a key leader in the Teamsters. He was President of Local 407 from 1982 to 1987, and again from 1990-1995.

In the name of the American people, who oppose this impeachment as being manifestly unfair, behold the prophetic power of the Biblical injunction, Judge not, that you not be judged

I rise today not on behalf of Democrats or Republicans, but as an American who is deeply concerned that our country bring closure to the charges against the President

I support the amendment to have a cost- benefit analysis. We are embarking on one of the most dramatic changes in nuclear policy that has ever been conducted in the history of the world. There are going to be 15,000 shipments by rail and…

Where wrong becomes right, where worse becomes the better reason and where people who have murdered become human rights protectors. Well, I think the American people are well aware of the record of the School of the Americas. We owe it to…

I rise to celebrate my city, Cleveland, OH, for its outstanding debut as America's All-Star city last night when the American League beat the National League 3 to 1 at Cleveland's Jacobs Field. The All-Star victory was brought about…

I think I figured out why they call it Calle Ohio, anyhow, Ohio Street; because listen to the cities in Ohio who have lost jobs to NAFTA: Bethesda; Bucyrus; Cambridge; Canal Winchester; Columbus; Dayton; Delaware; Galion; Green…
