Trumka on Grayson: "We Need to Be There for Him"
Today, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka joins the Grayson Campaign’s “Money Bomb – 1 Year Until Victory”. (https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/trumka4grayson?refcode=blogs) The AFL-CIO, founded in 1886, has 11 million members. Here is President Trumka’s message to you:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=g-62nJFj-lE

Look, I believe that Alan Grayson belongs in Congress -- for a number of reasons.

One, he never forgot who sent him to Congress. He’s always been a friend of working people.

And he’s never been afraid to stand up and talk on their behalf. No matter how much power was arrayed against him. He stood firm for working people.

Not once in a while, but every single time we needed help, he was there.

And now he needs help. And we need to be there for him.

For a better Congress. For a better America.

Sincerely,

Richard Trumka

5. POTUS!
Good luck to Alan in his run for Congress. He has the fire and guts we need, and the moral compass. I wish he was primarying Obama, it would make things very interesting.

6. Couldn't agree more with Trumka!
Thanks for fighting for the working people, Rep. Grayson. And you need to give lessons to other members of Congress on how to deal with Republicans.
