Donna Edwards has just taken the stage at the SEIU convention after a passionate introduction: "The new voice for working people in Maryland."

Edwards: "In about 2 weeks I'm going to represent the 4th congressional district in Maryland and it's because of you!"

Stream is HERE.

Update [2008-6-3 10:36:15 by Todd Beeton]:Edwards: "Workers should have the right to get together, to organize because it benefits not just you in organized labor but it benefits me too."

"To all you banks and credit card companies that got away with just about everything over the last 20 years: 'game over.' We're going to say to the oil and gas companies, 'you know what, your good times, gone!' To WalMart and all those other marts, 'you can not take advantage of workers in the United States and workers around the world and get away with it. Game over!' So I'm gonna mosey on back to Prince George's County and compete in that special election on June 17th and then I'm going to go to work for you."

I like this "game over" theme.
