Progressive Leader Robert Borosage Available for Comment and Interview
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Campaign for America's Future Co-
director Robert Borosage today said that President Bush's policies are hurting
working families and are a far cry from being compassionate. Republicans plan
to highlight their compassion tonight at their convention in New York City.
The Campaign for America's Future has a proven record of bringing
progressive groups together around issues that working people discuss around
their kitchen tables late at night. The group fights for an economy that
works for working people, good jobs with good benefits, affordable health
care, a secure retirement, high quality public education and energy
independence.
The Campaign for America's Future is helping to lead the largest
mobilization for public education in history to rouse the nation to make our
public schools a priority at every level of government. The Campaign also
established a nationwide coalition of citizen groups that are challenging
lawmakers to stand with seniors and against drug companies and HMOs by
pledging to fix President Bush's new prescription drug law.
STATEMENT OF ROBERT BOROSAGE
President Bush's compassion doesn't go beyond the corporate boardroom to
help real people. We need real compassion for victims that pay the price for
Bush's broken promises and corporate payoffs:
Compassion for the seniors who will pay more for their prescription drugs
because the president, in a sellout to drug companies, pushed through a bill
that actually prohibits Medicare from negotiating a better price for seniors.
Compassion for school children whose school's budgets are cut, teachers laid
off, after school programs eliminated even while the president is cutting
taxes on millionaires.
Republicans can hide the right-wing zealots in the closet, but they can't
hide President Bush's failed policies that are adding to the burdens of
working Americans, not relieving them.
