Congress has turned its back on America's working families. There are Teamster families in every congressional district in America, and those families vote. Those who would oppose these families have done so at their own political peril.

If we're all together, we have money, and we start to organize, you're going to see the Teamsters Union start to bloom.

That's what unions do. They can get money, they can get support, they can get manpower.

We didn't start this war - the right wing did. We're tired of seeing good-paying jobs shipped overseas. This fight is about the economy, it's about jobs and it's about rebuilding America.

I will never apologize for standing up for my fellow Teamsters and all American workers.

All workers want is a fair shake.

Today we are united, strong and on the move. Today we have a strong strike fund. Today we have the resources to run large-scale organizing campaigns against global employers. Today we have $100 million in the bank.
