Happy Labor Day!

We have one of the most pro-labor tickets ever!

Vice President Harris and Governor Walz are both supporters of Labor Unions.
Because they know that Labor Unions helped build the middle class of America.

Governor Walz addressing the Firefighters Union.

And, Vance going to address the same group:

Wow. JD Vance is getting ruthlessly booed by the Firefighters Union in Boston—at the same convention where Tim Walz received a very warm welcome yesterday. https://t.co/Km55sIvWSv

BREAKING: Firefighters’ Union Members wearing “Trump is a Scab” shirts to welcome JD Vance today #UnionsForAll

And, for those civil servants, who now enjoy protections because they are civil servants, here’s what Vance thinks of them:

Kamala HQ
@KamalaHQ
JD Vance says he supports Trump’s Project 2025 plan to take total control by purging the federal government of civil servants and replace them with millions of MAGA loyalists: “I think that what Trump should do… Fire every single civil servant… Replace them with our people”
https://x.com/KamalaHQ/status/1829188080193913225

These are the people who keep the government going, no matter what the party of the Administration. Their jobs are to make sure that the United States Government works for THE PEOPLE. They are educated professionals, who have, over the years, gained the experience and expertise in their areas.

    THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!

    Governor Gretchen Whitmer was asked if Kamala Harris isn’t too focused only on abortion, which is only the number one issue for women but not for all people in America who care more about inflation.

    Her response is a must-watch!

When times are hard, when the forces are mighty, when people don’t believe something can get done and they have a thousand excuses for why it can’t get done.
