One thing’s clear in viewing both Hoffa’s address to the crowd and the introduction given him by YearlyKos founder Markos Moulitsas. Unions and progressive bloggers are necessary complements to each other in the movement to restore the voice of everyday Americans in what has become a broken political process.
One key part of President Hoffa’s message: We need to hold politicians’ feet to the fire and demand that they not only take our support, but they show us real loyalty when they take office.
