What's the Real State of the Economy for Working People? Senator Sanders Investigates

April 13, 2008

Washington, D.C. 

Independent U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (VT) has launched a new section of his web page entitled “The Collapse of the Middle Class.” Please take a few minutes and visit this web page.

Working people are encouraged to contribute their own stories of toil and struggle to his web page, unfiltered and un-edited by the corporate news media or economic “experts”.

“I commend Senator Sanders for providing this opportunity for workers to tell the truth about our increasingly difficult and precarious lives. Working people are stretched to the limit, as these testimonials from Vermont and across the country attest. Corporate America has created this mess, and they profit from our misery with the active support of the Bush regime and his backers in Congress. For his entire career in Congress Bernie Sanders has been defending working people from these kinds of attacks, and he deserves our thanks, our recognition, and our support.” commented Bruce Klipple, UE General Secretary-Treasurer.

Senator Bernie Sanders will be a featured guest speaker at the coming UE Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C.
