Middle Class Mandate
by | December 07, 2006
It has been a month since the Democrats took back Congress, but you don't see House Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi and incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pounding their chests or making partisan proclamations about their newly acquired political capital. Instead, they're championing a consensus legislative agenda geared toward helping middle-class families that have been left behind by the GOP, notes AFSCME President Gerald McEntee. According to McEntee, AFSCME played a huge role in delivering victories on Election Day, and now he describes in his latest contribution to the Huffington Post the formation of a new grassroots campaign committed to passing Pelosi’s ambitious “Hundred Hours” agenda.
