I say lets go back to a truer use of the word freedom. Lets start

I say lets go back to a truer use of the word freedom. Lets start with President Franklin Roosevelts Four Freedoms: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear. I would add the freedom to bargain collectively. Those freedoms are under attack today. – Richard Trumka
