Why I'm Going

I'm going to speak as a worker- to tell Congress that we need to revitalize auto and industry in general because industry is the backbone of this country. I want to tell them that we need a new national industrial policy,created by a coalition of labor, government and industry to find a way to convert closed factories to the production of wind turbines, mass transit and fuel efficient vehicles. Workers must have a voice at the table.
