Time Text
Amberback, Rushland Baugh.
This is the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, and we are happy to have you with us as we are engaged here in having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
The telephone number, if you want to join us, is 800-282-2882.
And the email address, LRushbo at EIBNet.com.
The telephone number again, 800-282-2882.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, the Heritage Foundation at their morning bell, which is...
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, El Rushbo.
Happy birthday to you.
Yeah.
Thank you all very, very much.
I'm had tons of calls wishing you happy birthday.
Had tons of calls wishing me happy birthday.
You know, normally I get embarrassed over all this stuff, and I tell everybody not to do it every year, but I've been working on receiving.
Good.
And you shocked me.
I thought you'd all forgotten about it and acceded to my demands to ignore it.
And I totally was immersed here in starting the content portion of the program and you walked in here with the 59 on there.
I see that.
Is there 59 on there?
Is there anything in this present?
No.
No.
Well, this cake looks good on high.
Oh, this is a card.
What kind of cake is it?
White trash.
White.
Don't say that.
Not today.
It's light-skinned cake.
Light-skinned cake.
Oh, yeah.
Blow them out.
I've got to make a wish.
White.
Okay.
3-2-1.
Done.
And I will read the card at the commercial break.
Thank you very much.
Loyal, trusted, highly overrated staff.
All right.
Now, where was I?
Oh, yes.
The morning bell blog of the Heritage Foundation, which is worth the price of admission.
The Morning Bell blog at heritage.org is just incredible.
And today is $787 billion in stimulus, zero jobs created or saved.
And what they're doing here is bouncing off of the AP story yesterday, which finally said, we can't continue this.
We cannot act like this is working.
It's not.
There are no construction jobs that we can find.
The AP did this.
Heritage Foundation today says on February 11th, President Obama stood on a windy hilltop in front of a dusty construction site in Fairfax County, Virginia, and promised the American people this.
Here in Virginia, my plan will create or save almost 100,000 jobs doing work at sites just like this one.
Standing alongside current Democrat National Committee Chairman of former Governor Tim Kaine, Obama continued, where we're standing, that could mean hundreds of construction jobs.
And the benefits of jobs that we create directly will multiply across the economy.
11 months later, none of those promised jobs have been created or saved.
In fact, the Obama administration quietly announced last week that they were dropping the fraudulent saved or created terminology altogether.
Did you know that?
They did.
The failure of Obama's stimulus is particularly acute in Virginia, whereas Heritage Fellow Ron Utt has documented, despite $695 million in allocated infrastructure spending, only 16% of designated projects had begun.
House Transportation Infrastructure Committee Chairman James Oberstar, Democrat Minnesota, even publicly complained about Virginia's slow transportation spending, writing to Governor Kaine, your state ranks last among all states based on an analysis of the percentage of Recovery Act Highway Formula funds put out to bid under contract and underway.
But even where infrastructure spending has been spent, the hard evidence shows that there has not been any positive effect on employment anywhere.
According to the AP analysis reviewed by independent economists at five universities, the $20 billion spent nationwide on infrastructure so far.
Now remember, the stimulus, it really wasn't $787 trillion, it's a billion.
It's more like $1 trillion.
It cost them almost $200 billion in bribes, kickbacks, earmarks to get the votes for this thing in the House of Representatives.
$20 billion is what's been spent nationwide on infrastructure so far has had no effect on the local unemployment rates.
And this was just the most recent embarrassing headline for the White House signature economic policy.
Now, let me ask you a question, hypothetical.
If I had promised you on eight different occasions over the past year that you could tune in to this program and listen to the EIB staff here debate the topics I discuss, and then I suddenly decided you couldn't listen in, and the EIB staff was not going to debate anything I said.
Would you consider that a broken promise?
Would you think I had bailed on you?
Would you think I misled you?
Would you think that I had teased you and set you up for something that wasn't going to happen?
I thought so.
So when the president promised on eight different occasions during the campaign that the American public would be able to watch the Senate debate the health care bill, but then didn't see the promise through, do you consider that a broken promise?
Thought so.
Even Nancy Pelosi was heard to say words to the effect, it's just one of those campaign promises.
We've been watching news reports on what the Senate's doing with the health care bill, but that's all.
Now, one entity that I know and trust, the Heritage Foundation, has been there to see it all.
They've read it all, all 1,900 pages of the proposed healthcare legislation.
The Heritage Foundation is irreplaceable.
$25 a year at askheritage.org makes you a member, and they are continually improving and updating their website.
They do some of the best, most honest work in all of Washington, D.C.
They are a bunch of conservatives that have not been corrupted by Inside the Beltway ITIS.
And here's, in fact, here's, just go to askheritage.org and become a member like I am.
It's really a treat, by the way, to be able to access all the great work that comes out of the Heritage Foundation.
Now, the White House has changed how stimulus jobs are counted.
See, they can't say that the stimulus worked when nobody can get a job.
So we'll never know just how many jobs were funded by the $787 billion stimulus program.
That's the new term, funded.
Until a policy change last month, Obama administration officials had said that they would keep a running count of the number of jobs created or saved by their Recovery Act.
On top of that, the administration has directed Recovery Act recipients to report all the jobs funded with stimulus money, regardless of whether they were new jobs or existing ones.
That change gets rid of the conventional jobs saved designation, which asked recipients to determine which positions would have been eliminated were it not for the stimulus.
And of course, we've learned that many of these people just gave existing people raises and counted that as a saved job.
So going forward, the White House will only tally jobs once each quarter, and they are not going to attempt to determine a total.
The new requirement or requirements apply to the reports that recipients are filing now for the last three months of 2009.
Those figures, which will be released to the public by the end of the month, will be the second concrete look at stimulus employment impact.
The first tally showed that 640,000 jobs are created or saved through September.
Then they revised that down.
It came in under 40.
This is CNNMoney.com.
At any rate, they're going to change how stimulus jobs are counted, and they're going to refer to them now as jobs funded.
Stimulus jobs funded.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, I need to ask my buddy Andy McCarthy about this, or maybe my buddy F. Lee Levin about this.
They're both warriors.
There was an executive order signed into, a White House executive order signed yesterday, signed into law yesterday.
I want to read it to you.
When appointed, the Council will be reviewing such matters as involving the National Guard of the various states, homeland defense, civil support, synchronization and integration of state and federal military activities in the United States, and other matters of mutual interest pertaining to National Guard, Homeland Defense, and civil support activities.
This is from the White House.gov press office.
President Obama signs executive order establishing Council of Governors.
Now, this seems to be federalizing the National Guard.
This is why I need to get legal opinion on this.
When appointed, the Council will be reviewing such matters as involving the National Guard of the various states, Homeland Defense, Civil Support, synchronization, and integration of state and federal military activities in the United States, integration, synchronization, and other matters of mutual interest pertaining to National Guard, Homeland Defense, and civil support activities.
Now, Obama said in the campaign, we cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set.
We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, and just as well funded.
He said that in 2008 in the campaign.
You stop and think about that.
Just as well funded as the U.S. military?
Military budgets, what, $600 billion a year?
Stop and think of that.
We spent more on the stimulus than on national defense.
But anyway, so we're going to spend $600 billion on a civilian national security force just as powerful as the U.S. military.
Can anybody say posse comitatus?
And then we have this executive order from yesterday, and I'm really scratching my head over what this means.
Based on his campaign promise, or not promise, but his statement, we can't continue to rely on our military in order to achieve national security objectives that we've set.
We got to have a civilian national security force just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.
Be right back as you ponder that.
Back to the audio soundbites.
Oh, before we get to the audio soundbites, get the folks, it just doesn't get any better.
From the French news agency, world leaders should focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible over the next 40 years to avoid perilous warming conditions.
Researchers said Monday in the first study of its kind.
How can they write this stuff?
It's a hoax.
In the first study of its kind, analysts used a detailed energy system model to analyze the relationship between blah, blah.
The study identified critical 2050 reductions that, if not met, could seriously complicate end-of-century targets with current energy sources.
Under one scenario, global emissions would need to be reduced by around 20% below 2,000 levels.
By 2050, in order to meet...
You know, I'm glad my life expectancy doesn't take me to 2050, because people alive in 2050 are going to be living in huts like Obama's brother is.
And there's not going to be any electricity.
And there's not going to be any sewage.
There's no way to do this.
And it's not necessary.
But I guess this is curtains for Ted Danson and Al Gore because they said we only had 10 years.
Here's Tony Blankly.
Tony Blankly nails it.
Yesterday afternoon in CNN's newsroom, he was asked this question.
Tony, what about the use of the word Negro?
A term that my parents might use, but usually people of our generation don't.
And the fact that he went on to say, when he wants to, about saying when he wants the black dialect, Obama can maybe talk jibe.
What about this, Tony?
The lesson that we learned from this is not that the senator said anything particularly remarkable, but that when conservatives say something equally unremarkable, that the feigned outrage drives them out of office.
Whether it's Rush Limbaugh saying that a black quarterback got better pressed than if he'd been white, or whether it was Senator Allen who used the word macaque, whatever that means.
They've got six stories on the front page of the Washington Post.
The point is, they're not sincere when they're outraged.
They're just trying to drive out a political opponent.
Exactly right.
It's a political tactic.
A point which was made yesterday on this program.
Another black candidate has been dissed by the Democrat Party establishment.
That would be Harold Ford.
Harold Ford is toying around with running for the Senate in New York, the seat currently occupied by Kirsten Gillibrand, or is it Kristen?
I get those.
There's some Kirstens and Kristens out there.
Regarded Gillibrand.
And they don't want to get rid of Gillibrand because she's a sock puppet for Chuck Yo Schumer.
She votes however Chuck Yu Schumer tells her to vote.
And Harold Ford's independent thinker, and he lives in New York.
He pays New York taxes.
Heard him say that, and he's thinking about running, and they don't want him to.
So yesterday, an unidentified reporter asked the White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, what's the White House position on having a candidate like Harold Ford run for that Senate seat?
Look, I think the White House is quite happy with the leadership and the representation of Senator Gillibrand in New York.
And we're supporting her re-election.
Gillibrand, okay.
See, I've never heard her name pronounced.
Sorry, Gillibrand.
I just thought it was Gillibrand.
Unless Gibbs got it wrong, which is entirely possible.
But nevertheless, Harold Ford, Mr. Snurdley, light-skinned, very light-skinned, and does not, in the words of Harry Reid, use the black dialect.
Unless he wants to.
Yes, unless he wants to.
I know.
We played that.
We played Hillary.
I ain't no way.
We played her yesterday.
In fact, Mike grabbed that.
That's good for a laugh any day of the week.
Let me know when you have it.
We had it from yesterday.
Ain't no way, Tai.
Crowd goes jumping for joy.
That was in Selma.
Okay, so you have, according to Mr. Snerdley, a light-skinned Negro, and according to Harry Reid, one who doesn't use the black dialect when he doesn't have to, have been thrown overboard under the bus by the White House in favor of a blonde white woman, Kirsten Gillibrand.
Here, here's Hillary from Selma, Alabama.
I think this is 2008, sometime in March.
Let us say with one voice the words of James Cleveland's great freedom hymn, I don't feel no ways tired.
I come too far from where I started from.
Nobody told me that the road would be easy.
I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me.
2007, that was.
I'm sorry.
The years are just flying by here.
It's embarrassing.
I know.
It's embarrassing.
Hey, hey, Ted.
Oh, man.
That guy be fetching us coffee a couple years ago.
What are you doing?
Ted.
Barry in University Heights, Ohio.
Hi, Barry.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Happy birthday.
Thank you, sir.
Rush, isn't Dingy Harry Reid actually right in asserting that there's a racial hierarchy in America?
Isn't that the point that George Will made over the weekend?
No matter how smart you are, if you sound ebonic, you're not going to be accepted.
You're not going to be taken seriously by the white establishment.
Isn't that true?
Did George Will say that?
He sure did.
He implied it.
I had the George Will soundbites yesterday, and I didn't get to them.
I read the transcript.
I don't remember saying, I know he totally exonerated Harry Reid.
He said there was nothing racist about what Harry Reid had said, but I didn't know he had said that about the black dialect or ebonics.
Well, the point is that Reed is only calling attention to a reality that I think what should alarm people is not the clumsy comments that Reed made, but the reality that he was calling attention to, namely that there is a racial hierarchy and that you are judged according to how ebonic you speak.
And it goes for color as well.
Think of Hallie Berry.
Think of Colin Powell.
Can you picture Colin Powell being as presidential material if he was much blacker?
Or if Hallie Berry was much darker, would she be considered as sexy as she is by society?
Why don't, you know, you're asking the wrong guy because I don't think this way.
And so that's why Harry Reid's comments here are kind of, you know.
But I'm saying that that's in the subconsciousness of our society.
It's a relic of 200 years of slavery.
Well, I don't, no, now, since you bring this up, are you a Democrat?
Yeah, I'm an independent.
Democrats.
Okay, so I'm thinking, if what you say is true, how in the world is it that any American rap star is a multi-millionaire?
There aren't enough black customers to make these guys as well as the people.
Well, because white people want to flatter themselves that they really are interested in the authentic black experience.
But then why wouldn't they vote for a rapper running for president if they agree with his policies?
Well, they will vote for.
You say they wouldn't because he doesn't sound white.
Voting for someone and listening to someone's music are two very different things.
Because remember that historically we saw African Americans as entertainers, not as politicians.
We saw them as athletes.
Wait a minute.
What is this we business?
You, you know, don't tar all the rest of us with this.
You're basically saying that the country's still racist.
That's what Harry Reid wants you to say.
Hammer back, El Rushball.
And breaking news from CNN.
It's a poll.
And in this poll, half of the respondents, half of the American people think the Obama presidency has been a failure.
Whoa, did I call it or did I call it?
Americans are giving Barack Obama a split decision on his first year in orifice, according to a new national poll, CNN Opinion Research Corporation survey.
48% of people questioned in the poll released today say Obama's presidency has been a failure so far.
47% saying Obama has been a success.
The poll's January 12th release comes just eight days before Obama marks one year in the White House.
Oh yeah, they're asking me to be on all of them, Snerdley.
They're asking every, I mean, every network is doing a one-year look back in Europe.
The BBC wants me, Polish TV wants me, Al Jazeera wants me.
Honest to Allah, Al Jazeera wants me on a year-end review of Obama's presidency.
ABC, CBS, NBC, they all.
They all do.
I don't want to do them.
I haven't decided to, and I don't really, really, look at, Snerdley, I have to turn over a new leaf here.
I still do too many things out of a sense of obligation rather than desire.
And every time I say I'll do something when I really don't want to do it, I'm doing it because I think I either should or it's easier to say yes than no.
And I end up getting mad at myself.
And when the day comes that I've said yes, I'll do it, I am mad the whole day.
And I'm thinking about how I can lie to get out of it.
So I got to trust my instinct.
I don't want to do it.
I don't want to sit in front of a camera for 45 minutes for 10 minutes or maybe two minutes of it to air.
I don't, I just, I just, I don't need to.
They're a year behind.
I said I hope he fails a year ago.
They're just now concluding that he has.
This is what being on the cutting edge is all about.
So no, I really don't want to do it.
Well, I was tempted by Al Jazeera, but I was more amused than tempted by Al Jazeera.
Philip Klein, the American Spectator blog, where I see this public policy polling survey showing Representative Larry Kissel, a freshman swing district Democrat from North Carolina, doing quite well, beating a generic Republican by 14 points and his potential Republican rivals by 14 points to 18 points.
Why is he doing so well while other swing districts are trending toward the Republicans?
The difference says the Democrat polling firm, Public Policy Polling, has his vote against healthcare.
So the Democrats who voted against health care in the House are doing well in local polling for reelection.
Now remember, Bill Clinton and everybody went out and told these guys, If you don't vote for this, you're going to lose.
The reason that we lost the House is because we didn't pass health care in 1994.
And of course, it was just the exact opposite.
And now there's polling data out there to actually document this.
Hey, here's another.
Let's go back to this is Soundbite 19 we're up to.
This is March 8th of 2008.
An interview with the Torrance, California Daily Breeze newspaper, the former vice presidential candidate Democrat, Geraldine Ferraro.
If Barack Obama were a white man, would we be talking about this as a potential real problem for Hillary?
If he were a woman of any color, would he be in this position?
They said, absolutely not.
Now, the libs are out there saying that Reed's comments aren't racist because they're true.
Well, what Ferraro said was also true.
She didn't use the word Negro, and yet Democrats, including Obama, denounced her for this.
What she was saying was, look, if he wasn't a black guy, he wouldn't be anywhere near this race.
He wouldn't even be anywhere close.
And she was speaking on behalf of a woman, Hillary.
Remember, there was a big rift here between special interest groups.
The women, the feminazis, were fit to be tied because they had it figured that Hillary was their man.
She was going to be president.
She was in there.
And then out of nowhere comes this guy who Bill Clinton says a few years ago would have been serving them all coffee.
And he upstaged her, and he's getting much better press.
And all these women who thought they had paid their dues, who thought they had slaved and gone through the ringer, they had put up with all of this stuff.
And it was theirs.
It was finally their time.
And now all of a sudden, everybody was turning on Hillary, including the media, and they were discombobulated.
And so the whole thing kind of blew up, and that's what Geraldine Ferraro was discussing there.
Kevin and Monroeville, Ohio, you're next on the Rush Limblaugh program.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
It's a real honor.
I can't believe I got through.
Thank you very much, sir.
Hey, you know, I'm glad you corrected your previous caller about not including everybody in his, you know, his outlook.
Yeah, that was a good gobsmacking.
I like giving those now and then.
Right, right.
Hey, you know, something else that I think plays into this and you talk about all the time is Harry Reed's not only is racist, but an elitist attitude towards Barack Obama.
And I think what makes it kind of ironic is, you know, how you talk, you know, here's Barack and Michelle.
You know, they start out in life, and their only goal in life, as I can see it, is to be one, to be joined in the elitist crowd, to be accepted.
And they go through their whole life, and they finally get to the White House, and they think they have arrived.
And then one of the elitists, like Harry Reid, comes out and basically says, I don't care how high you go, and I don't care where you are.
Us elitists still look at you as just another black couple.
Whoa, that's what you think Harry was saying?
Yes, I think Harry is pure elitist.
He said, basically, in my opinion, that Barack Obama may be just white enough to be accepted by us, not by the American people.
But with his elitist attitude, he's thinking, maybe we can get by.
Wow.
This is a very, very, very, very interesting take on this.
This is one of those stroke the chin kind of thoughts that I hadn't considered before.
I'm going to have to ponder this beyond the length and time of your phone call here.
I think it's, you know, and you also can maybe put Bill Clinton in that category.
And I mean that, you know, to take the black factor out of it, I really believe the elitists in Washington thought, well, you know, Bill Clinton can do what he wants, say what he wants, rise as high as he wants in the American people's mind.
But to us, he's just a guy from Arkansas, a good old boy from Arkansas.
Well, I don't know.
They were, I don't think Clinton and Hillary were certainly treated as elitists and accepted as elitists by that group.
But I think there's some lingering dislike for the Clintons throughout that whole period of time because they did have this machine.
The Clintons are brutal on people.
Anyway, that's an interesting thought, and I appreciate it.
Sandy in Chicago, as we move on on the EIB network, hello.
Hello, Maha Rushi.
It's an honor to speak with you.
Thank you.
Rush, we've heard you many times mention that you refuse to participate in the recession.
And we all know that the main reason, one of the main reasons why the economy is not rebounding is because consumers aren't spending.
Right.
But I put forth with your unfettered spending that you are actually enabling Obama and his policies.
Oh.
Yes, what if...
Oh, no.
Yes.
How can this possibly be?
What do you mean by unfettered spending?
You can, you, Rush, we all know you're very wealthy, right?
You can spend unfettered.
I mean, you don't have any limits to what you can spend.
I certainly do.
Oh, Rush, come on.
You don't.
But my point is, what if 50 to 60 million of the people that voted against him and that oppose his radical policies refuse to participate in the economy?
You know, they have basically stopped spending because they don't know what is coming down the pike, what kind of taxes are coming down the pike.
Would that be considered unpatriotic?
Would that be considered wishing for the economy to fail if we said, you know what, I'm not going to enable your policies.
I'm not going to.
No, I think your long-term objective is to kill the policies so that the economy rebounds, right?
Exactly.
Yeah.
So you're not trying to kill the economy.
He is.
No, but if people are not spending, that is hurting the economy.
That's the main reason.
Look, there's a whole bunch of millions of people that can't spend much because all they've got is unemployment compensation.
That's true.
A lot of this is already happening.
There is no economic activity to speak of.
There certainly is no growth, precisely, for all the reasons that you mentioned, plus the unemployment.
Right.
People like me, I can spend, but I don't really want to.
I mean, I'm caught between a rock and a hard place.
My husband is a part owner of a business.
And they need the economy to rebound, and they need people to be spending.
But I'm of the notion that that would enable Obama's policies and his radical agenda if I start spending.
I mean, I've cut down basically on all of my spending.
I mean, I still do a little bit like for my children and stuff, like with dance and music and that kind of stuff.
I hear you.
I've cut back on my own in a lot of ways.
But you don't need to.
And you are able to get a special.
Why do you cut off?
Where do you get this?
I don't need to.
What makes you think that I have no limits on what I can spend?
Well, because you make a lot of money.
You make millions every year.
But if you want to, you can spend whatever you want to spend.
You can go wherever you want to go anytime you want to do it.
You can redecorate your house every year if you wanted to.
Yeah, but I can't.
For example, if I wanted to say buy Boeing 757.
I couldn't.
But you can buy a what kind of plane do you have?
That's nobody's business.
You just said I could buy something.
Look, we all have limits is the point.
Except George Soros, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett, they don't.
And Obama doesn't have limits with his budget.
Right, true, right?
He's spending our money.
But look, I've told the pilots to throttle back to 500 miles an hour to save jet fuel because the price is skyrocketing on jet fuel.
So I look at you.
I'm doing my part.
Okay, okay.
Maybe I misspoke a little bit there.
But still, your spending is, you know, it doesn't compare to like my spending, you know, what I would be doing.
But that's the point, though.
I mean, if we participate in his economy, we enable him.
But on the other hand, do we destroy the economy by not participating?
No, no, no, you wouldn't destroy it.
He's destroying the economy.
People spending are saving it.
People that are still engaging in commerce are saving it, and people that are trying to rebound and so forth are trying to save it.
We are being governed against.
The president and his party are governing and legislating against the people of this country.
People are just holding on out here.
This situation is tear-jerking.
It is horrible out there what is happening to people.
Because when you realize that this is being done on purpose, I think about this for a long time and my blood boils.
I'm a little long here in this segment.
I got to go.
We'll be back after this.
Sit tight.
A quick reminder here, folks, before we have to get out of here, Zycam will arrest your cold if you catch it early enough.
I got an email.
I've had a bunch of them, actually, from people who are thanking me.
And I love getting these, praising me on Carbonite and Lifelock and all of these sponsors that we have and Zycam.
It's great that you try it, and it's great that it works for you.
It has been miraculous for me.
I get a cold.
I'm like a baby.
I may also have the flu.
I just don't deal with them well.
And the first time I tried this stuff, it worked.
You've got to get it soon.
As soon as you think you're coming down with a cold, take it as directed every four hours.
It'll shorten the duration of your cold and probably weaken the symptoms.
I won't get rid of it.
Now, nothing can do that, but it will shorten it and make it much less distracting to you.
Zycam, Z-I-C-A-M, it's a big orange box, and it's available everywhere.
America's new Surgeon General says these jibes that she's overweight, very hurtful.
Dr. Regina Benjamin is very upset.
The fat acceptance lobby has jumped to her defense out there.
And I never heard of that either.
The U.S. National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance.
I didn't know there was a lobbying group for fat people.
But there is.
They have offices next to No Cirque in San Francisco, National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers.
And they say it's finally good here.
It's nice to know here that not all overweight people are unhealthy.
White House admits to having strategy problems on health care.
Ram Emmanuel says the message isn't getting through.
The reason the message isn't getting through is because the facts are.
The facts are getting through, and the facts are obscuring the message.
Here's Richard Trumka, National Press Club AFL-CIO yesterday.
Instead of taxing the rich, the Senate bill taxes the middle class by taxing workers' health plans.
Not just union members' health care plans.
This is a policy designed to benefit elites.
In this case, insurers, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and irresponsible employers at the expense of the broader public.
can assure you that the labor movement is fighting everything with the we've got to win health care reform that is worthy of the support of working men and working women.
