Pelosi: 'This Labor Day, America's Workers Deserve Better'Washington, D.C. -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today in celebration of Labor Day: "Labor Day is an occasion for remembrance and rededication. We remember the generations before us who struggled and sacrificed so that we might enjoy the quality of life and standard of living we cherish today. And we rededicate ourselves to the values that will ensure these gifts are passed to future generations: hard work, innovation, creativity, energy and determination. "Sadly, this Labor Day will not be a time of celebration for millions of Americans who are suffering under the relentless assault on working families being waged by President Bush and Republicans in Congress:
"America’s hard-working families deserve better. They deserve a President and a Congress who will fight for economic opportunity, fairness and justice; for good jobs with good wages; for the right to organize and form a union; for the right to affordable, quality health care; for the right to a first-rate education; and for equal pay for equal work. "So on this Labor Day, let us rededicate ourselves to building a country and an economy in which every family realizes the American Dream. America’s working families deserve nothing less." |
“ Democrats are united in presenting a New Direction for America, one that will make our nation as strong as its people, one that brings opportunity, security, and prosperity to all Americans. ” Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi |
