Tuesday November 4, 2008 was a call by the American people for our elected leaders to take notice that the senseless partisanship and party line picker has to be put aside for the good of this nation. The American people spoke loud and clear sending a message that business as usual has to stop. Now is an opportunity for all working people to come together and forge a new direction. It is about time for working people to demand their needs be addressed. Democrats, Republicans, Liberals and Conservatives need to unite behind President-Elect Barack Obama to forge a new path toward prosperity for all, health care that truly cares, a job that pays, a retirement that is secure, a future filling with hope and opportunity for ourselves and our children. The Rick Smith Show is committed to making sure the newly elected office holders keep their promises and do the work of the people. It is time to address trade deals that hurt the American worker, currency manipulation that hurts American Small Businesses, and threats from abroad both militarily and economically. The United States is a country that comes together when times are tough. Times have not been much tougher than they are right now. That is why here at the Rick Smith Show we are putting aside our partisan differences and inviting workers from every walk of life to join in the fight to renew the American Dream.

Joe Biden has been a strong advocate for working people and their families. He has been a trusted leader who speaks truth to power.  The republicans have attempted to smear a good man because they have nothing else to run on.  The economy is in crisis, the housing market is in crisis, manufacturing is in crisis, our military is in crisis and all the good people of this nation get is rosy optimism and failed rhetoric.
