I rise is support of the steelworkers. I am a proud member of organized labor. Organized labor enabled me to finance my house, and to educate myself and my children. I live in America. I am an American Congressman. The people who sent me here live in America and I want the people of America to be able to have the same opportunity I had and my family had. Lets keep the steel workers of America working. And when and if the time comes when our American workers are all employed, then we can look abroad for their assistance. Lets take care of our home First!
