I fricken love this guy.
I'm joining the union.
Richard Trumpka I salute you sir. You are another example of people who recognize the importance of this election and took a stand. You, Sir, are a man among men!!!
I sent this clip out to everyone I know - and they loved it ! Mr Trumka is an amazing American and exactly the role model we all need right now. Send him out on the trail!
Wow. I have forwarded this on to everyone I know ...this should go viral..
OH-MY-GOD. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
Somebody Needs to send this to Obama. I wish he could've been the one to Debate with Palin
This guy needs to run for office. He had me in tears literally.
WOW, this man should be on the national stage! Sent chills down my spine! We need surrogates who tell it like it is!!
This man illustrates yet another reason I'm voting for Barack Obama. He is inspiring Americans to join together as "The Americans" we all are. We all want the same thing for our families, and in today's world with the type of enemies we face we cannot afford to be a divided America. Very inspiring speech and demonstration of a united America.
What happened to my post? There was nothing offensive in it. OMG!
Amazing and Inspiring!!
Richard Trumka is the real deal. He gives me hope because he speaks truthfully when he admits knowing folks who are not going to vote for Barack Obama only because he is black. First they say, he's a muslim (debunked), he's not patriotic (debunked), I don't know who he is (like anyone KNOWS Sarah Palin after only 5 short weeks and zero vetting) and finally - I don't trust him BECAUSE HE IS BLACK. As Mr. Trumka pointed out in several YouTube videos, all of these reasons are nothing other than racism. Mr. Trumka admits that there are lots of folks out there who are racists. As he said, they need to be confronted and challenged. If you know anyone who gives one of the above reasons for not voting for Barack Obama, it is your duty to challenge and educate them. If you do nothing, fear and racism will win in November. DON'T SIT IDLY BY - Please.
Obama-Biden 2008-2016
He brings tears to the eyes and joy to the heart to see the truth about racism faced directly..
wow... brilliant.
i got your back sir.. for anything.
Powerful, moving and forceful...I was on the edge of my seat. Ladies and Gentlemen, that is an American and a true patriot who is putting Country First.
Wow! This man needs a national stage! Please, someone, give him the "MIKE"! Excellent!!!!!
