Clinton woos the outsourcers that workers fear.

Hillary Clinton, American workers enemy #1. In her home state of New York, Senator Clinton's track record shows she gives American jobs away at a rate of 50 to 1. Imagine 8 years of her as commander of chief, all Americans jobs will be outsourced.

Kucinich wins union debate.

Tonight, Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) shined in the AFL-CIO forum seemingly taking the crown as labors candidate. Despite Barack Obama being in his backyard at Chicago's Soldier Field it was the Congressman from Ohio that got the loudest applauses. Kucinich was sincere and answered every question directly to the point throwing in a few witty zingers that brought a chuckle to even the non supporter.

When asked what he planned to do with NAFTA, Kucinich drew a thunderous applause by saying he would scrap it along with WTO in the first week of his administration.





Kucinich's funniest moment occurred during the questioning on China and if he thought of them as an friend or foe. He answered the question with, as a kid I was told if you dig a hole deep enough you will be in China, and he said were there. That was a great metaphor for us being over a trillion dollars in dept to China from continuous borrowing to fund the Iraq War.





This was a start for Kucinich. A few more performances like this and his candidacy will have to be taken serious by the MSM like it or not.

Which Presedential Candidate votes the way that you would vote?

With the 2008 Presidential Election fast approaching it is time to know your candidates before you cast that all important vote for one of them. One issue doesn't make a candidate, it is the combination of all the issues as a whole that should be your decider.

Mainstream media picks frontrunners and plasters their faces front and center for everyone to see. But do they really vote for your values? The best way to find out is to dig through their past voting records to see their history on the issues. That can be a daunting task digging through past votes at many different levels of politics. Thankfully there is a site that has eliminated all the work for us and we just answer a few questions and it spits out the data.

Try it out for yourself, it may suprise you who has voted when it counts the way you would have voted. Click the link and it will open up a new window.

Sen. Hillary Clinton's refusal to answer steelworkers' questions both troubling and revealing

On July 5, 2007, the Democratic Presidential candidates addressed the United Steelworkers Union Candidate Forum. After agreeing to a 30 minute question-and-answer with union members, Hillary Clinton skipped out after making her address, leaving union members wondering what does she have to hide.

Sen. Hillary Clinton's refusal to answer steelworkers' questions both troubling and revealing

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday, July 06, 2007

CLEVELAND OH -- The Kucinich for President Campaign issued the following statement this afternoon:

"It is deeply troubling, but, perhaps, very revealing, when a Democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States seeks the support of one of the most important industrial labor unions in the nation but refuses to answer questions from the rank and file union members.

"That's what happened today when U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton addressed the United Steelworkers conference in Cleveland. Not only did she not participate in the question-and-answer portion of the program to which all of the Presidential candidates had agreed, but she also completely ignored one of the major issues that has forced millions of union workers and others into unemployment: the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

"Yesterday, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, U.S. Senator Joe Biden, and former Senator John Edwards held to their commitment to the USW to answer any and all questions from union members for 30 minutes each.

"It borders on arrogance for a Democrat to deliver pro-union promises and platitudes in prepared remarks, but then refuse to engage in an honest and open conversation with workers whose lives have been profoundly impacted by disastrous trade policies -- especially NAFTA, which was enacted during the Clinton Administration.

"Does Senator Clinton support NAFTA? Will she attempt to "fix it," as former Senator Edwards proposed yesterday? Or will she have the courage to repeal it, as only Congressman Kucinich has proposed? Members of the steelworkers union and other industrialized unions did not get any answers because they weren't permitted to ask the questions.

"Candidates have an obligation to go beyond orchestrated and scripted performances, answer tough questions, and address serious issues. If they calculate that it is preferable to side-step that obligation when they are trying to win votes, voters will be left wondering where those candidates really stand and what they will really do if elected. If anything, Senator Clinton has an even higher obligation to address this issue because NAFTA was enacted during the Clinton Administration. Someone needs to ask where the Senator stands. And the Senator has a responsibility to answer."
