Capital is but the accumulated result of the work of our hands. Yet the sword of capital is forever directed against the throat of labor.

Peter Mcguire 1880's

Esau was a traitor to himself; Judas Iscariot was a traitor to God; Benedict Arnold was a traitor to his country; a strikebreaker is a traitor to his God, his country, his wife, his family and his class.

Jack (John Griffith) London The Definition of a Scab

Thank God we have a system of labor where there can be a strike. Whatever the pressure, there is a point where the working man may stop.

Abraham Lincoln Speech March 16, 1860 Hartford, CT

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

"By the way, President Bush is on an eight-day tour of Asia . He's visiting American jobs."

David LettermanNovember 2005

In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.' Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining... We demand this fraud be stopped.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Deregulating Wall Street was like leaving a 3 year old in a candy store unsupervised for a day. When you come back the kid is stuffed full of candy, candy falling out of the pockets -- but when you are driving home the kid pukes on your shoes. It's time to stop Wall Street from puking on our shoes."

Leo W. GerardOctober 2009

I'd rather be a free man in my grave than living as a puppet or a slave.

- Jimmy Cliff

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." - Justice Louis Brandeis
