I am not pleased with the Democrats, and I am not scared of Republicans.
It's time to fight back in an independent kind of way. It's time to fight
back. We need a labor political movement. We need a Workers' Party. We must
fight for workers' rights, health care, jobs, justice, education, housing.
This land is our land. I am not pleased with the Democrats, and I ain't
scared of the Republicans. I've come to fight today. Can I get a witness?
Let me hear you scream.
There are Republicans who want right-to-work laws. There are Democrats who
are not fighting against them. Then there's us. Us needs our own political
movement to protect us's interests.
