Trumka spoke at the National Press Club thursday before going to the White House. No matter what you think about unions and union membership it is worth listening to what Mr. Trumka has to say about the state of the nation.

What this man said a couple of days ago is important, very important. Just run it in the background.

2. He is our Lech Walesa.. after 30 years of Reaganism..we need to fight to be free
The American middle class is under siege from the Bankers and corrupt politicians.

With our homes being taken away, no access to health care, no jobs or access to job training.

Yet every day... 365 days a year.. the plutocrats in Washington spend $720 Million-a-day on war.

$720 Million a day on war... yet they talk about a Cadillac Tax to pay for basic health care? WTF?
