The Voice of the People



This was the question of the night. During tonight's ALF-CIO Democratic debate, Steve Skvara, a disabled, steel worker from Indiana, shared his heart-wrenching story of how the company he gave 34 years of his life to, forced him into retirement and slashed his pension and healthcare. Now he can no longer provide for his family.

Steve's story is the story of millions and millions of people in this country whose lives are being destroyed by corporations. And it was so moving to see someone stand up and ask the politicians what they plan to do to stop this American shame. Candidate John Edwards fields the question.
