It's been a long time since we've heard a Democrat give a speech like this!

Published on May 31, 2014

Speech given 5/30/14 during 2014 Maine Democratic Party Convention in Bangor, ME



From Working Maine on facebook : "Hands down one of the best working class speeches in the history of our state. Troy Jackson's moving speech from the Democratic State Convention Saturday in Bangor is being described as "a speech for the ages.""

If he can live up to his words he will be a force to contend with.

Wow, he sure sounds like a Democrat! But come to think of so did President Obama, who I voted for both times and was let down both times. I hope SOMEONE will stand up to the Republicans and just say NO!!
