The question of Secretary Clinton releasing transcripts of her speeches to big Wall Street companies has been raised with increasing force. This has led Howard Dean to Ask about the speeches Sen. Sanders has made to labor unions. That sort of seems like a fair question. But it turns out that we don’t have to ask for transcripts of those speeches, since none of them were private and they are all over youtube, among other places.
Some of these, you do have to listen through rather lengthy introductions:
Speaking to striking Penford workers in Iowa (skip to about 19 minutes in — there’s a LOT of intro
Speaking to Postal Workers when they endorse him
Speaking to National Nurses Union (There’s about 9 minutes worth of intro, but it’s worth hearing too) This is, by the way, my union.
Speaking to Communications Workers
Since a lot of people have been digging into Secretary Clinton’s history, we ought to look back at Bernie’s also. Speaking to a labor rally in 1995
1993 on the House floor in support of right to strike.
I think that’s a pretty fair sample. I’ll leave it there.
