They need to get Joe Biden or somebody who can speak with anger on the TV on Sunday night, in Detroit in front of a bunch of UAW members, and have them say something like this:
When those 35 Senators voted against the bailout of American automakers, even though it wasn't the best bill we could've passed, they voted against every worker from those companies. They voted against everyone whose job depends on those auto jobs being there. They voted against Detroit, they voted against Michigan, they voted against the Midwest, and they voted against America.
Lets be clear: they didn't just vote against a bill. They voted against millions of jobs for Americans at a time when we desperately need them. They voted in favor of you having to move out of your house because you'll no longer be able to afford it. They voted for you selling one of your cars so you can pay the bills. They voted for you freezing over the winter because you'll not be able to afford to heat your home. They voted for you eating ramen noodles because you'll not have the money for real meals.
They voted for our recession turning into a depression. They voted for at least another year of dropping stock markets. They voted for a reduction in your retirement savings of another 50%.
They voted to kill millions of jobs. They voted to kill the American economy. Why? So that foreign automakers who have plants in their states can compete better. Foreign automakers who pay their American employees less than the American automakers. They voted against it so that foreign companies could make more money by paying Americans less.
They voted against America, and American jobs. We will not let them continue. As soon as we are in office, we will begin the work to rescue this economy. We will fight to protect every last job, and to create every single job we can for Americans. And we will succeed. Maybe not at first, because the economy is in such shambles that hard work and much time will be required to get us back on track. Nevertheless, we will get America back on track. We will save existing American jobs, and create new ones. We will make sure that your home, and your health care are secure. We will make sure that Americans are free from fear.
