Today In America We Are No More

Those Who Purify Your Water, Inspect Your Meat, And Test Your Kids Toys, As Well As A Huge Number Of Nurses, Teachers, And Our Soldiers, Are Public Employees. The Firefighters Who Don't Hesitate To Rush Toward Danger While You Run Away From It - They Are All Public Employees.

As Governor, When I Visited Our Troops In Kuwait And Iraq, I Served Them Thanksgiving Dinner. It Was A Small Gesture Compared To Their Sacrifice.

A Number Of Us Had Conversations With The Kerry Campaign About What He Was Going To Say About Cafe. What He Told Us Was That He Did Not Want To Sacrifice Jobs And That He Wanted To Work With The Auto Industry To Achieve That Goal.

Obviously We Want To Keep The Jobs We've Got.

So We Just Hope That All Of These Governors Who Are Grappling Will Be Able To Provide The Basic Services To Our Citizens And Not Have To Cut Things That Really Are Painful.
