4. So good

this and I'm still reeling from a visit to the National Holocaust museum 2 days ago... I noted that the legal discrimination of homosexuals lasted well after that of the Jewish people and others... We can no longer be 'Bystanders' We Can't!

[Divine Discontent]

:applause:

[Loki]

15. Have any Republican's done this ad?

I know it's probably a moot point, but I don't think I've seen anyone from the Republicans or Tea Partiers or Libertarians doing this public service. What a bunch of nasty cowards they all are. and Mr. Trumka thank you. You and all who have stepped up are what we should all be about. Erase hate.

[Subdivisions]

16. I've been thinking this for awhile now...I think Mr. Trumka should

run for president. I think he's a Democrat and, if he indeed is, I think he would make us a good candidate.

[reggie the dog]

38. sounds great to me

i voted for jose bové, one of the farmers union leaders here in france, for president three years ago and now he is a eurodeputy of france in the european union green party

[Lindsey]

25. So awesome. n/t

[Enthusiast]

26. Now that's a real progressive!

My Democrats must share Trumpka's vision if they expect my support. Anything less is a sell out, imho.

[otohara]

30. Has ONE Republican Done One of These?

or are they going to JUST SAY NO on dying kids too?

[Zambero]

33. Possibly rhe Log Cabin Republicans? However...

They make the case for acceptance and full accordance of basic human rights, and then turn around and support the very political entity that oppresses them. Unfortunately for the LCR's, blind allegiance to a party that is hell bent on keeping them down doesn't make things better -- it merely reinforces the status quo.

[ensho]

31. excellent

nt

[Overseas]

32. K&R ! //nt

[The Last Democratic]

34. Yes he is…..good union leader.

I meet him years ago when he was running for president of the
United Mining works of American (UMWA) shook hands with him in
the bath house 

[reggie the dog]

40. welcome to democratic underground

my fellow union brother or sister (i am in a different union, a teachers union, but being unionized is what is important)

[nradisic]

35. Awesome!

Well said. Amen.

[Smashcut]

36. Awesome.

As if I needed one more reason for 110% solidarity with unions.

[reggie the dog]

37. awesome!

yet another reason to support our unions! he tells it like it is, GAY RIGHTS IS AN EQUALITY ISSUE!!!! A FREEDOM ISSUE AND THIS MAN GETS IT! I want full equality for all people in the usa, not just heteros like myself..... I am very happy to see the afl cio's position on this is on the side of justice
