walter jones, his office declined to put out a statement but the record shows he has been a growing thorn in the side of his party. he voted against legislation to end publicly financed presidential campaigns in january and has opposed the party on the iraq policy. so those four g.o.p. votes yesterday. buffalo, new york, frank, republican. what do you think of that vote? caller: it was basically typical. it is all yes, yes, yes and i'm a republican. or all no, no, no. and it goes back and forth for both parties. like they said, sometimes we can't even decide what to put on a pizza, the two parties. host: what is your message for the folks when they come back ho home? caller: in our age group, around 60, our taxes got raised twice. we got raised twice when we were going to retire. and they seem to be looking -- they want us to pay for their kids and grandkids which we have already done for ours. if that is so important, then get $45,000 out of your pocket and put in the bank for them. we were in debt when we were born. they want us to put things on the table. i don't care if it is a smidge

mother jones, walter ruther, norma rae, and that film. we have heroes every day who work -- to all the work of the union. one thing i suggest is they hold these people of what they should be. unions have symbols and logos, they are very important. if you look at them, they state the values of the organization. unity, democracy, strength. this means give me five. organize, build power, win justice. even though my wife refers to this this job because they are throughout my house, the more we can get people to wear the colors of the union, bumper stickers, advertising the fact that the union is a part of their life, it is a small thing but it makes unions of bigger part of a community in the presence. do we do things like singing " solidarity forever"? i know using a brother and sister has got out of fashion. that cannot come out -- maybe that cannot come back. this communicates the core values of a union. in closing, one of the challenges at the foundational level is what can we do in our unions to reinstate these elements of culture, build

jones: mr. speaker, thank you. last tuesday congresswoman sue myrick and i went to visit the wounded at walter reed. these treats are always a vivid reminder of the true cost of war. seeing the men and women that have lost limbs for this country make me wonder how many more are going to be in that hospital both at walter reed and bethesda with severe wounds. after hearing secretary gates, i have great respect for secretary gates, but he has made it clear that we will be in afghanistan until 2014. he said it will be 2014 or 2015 before we can start substantially bringing down the number of troops in that country. . here we are in washington battling right now about the 2011 budget, what should we do, not do. cut this, cut that. yet we seem to find $8 billion a month for a corrupt leader in afghanistan named karzai. he's corrupt and his government is corrupt. and yet we are saying to the american people, if you are a senior, we can't be sure that you can get a sandwich at the senior citizen center in your county. we are saying to the children that cannot afford milk at home, there will be no programs
