John Hall, a 35 year member of two unions (AF of M and AFTRA) joined in solidarity with CSEA, SEIU, Planned Parenthood and students in a press conference outside Sue Kelly's Office, calling on her to oppose cuts to Medicaid and student loans.
Below is Hall's statement:
"I would never dump the tax breaks for corporations and the top 1% onto the backs of students and the sick.
In Congress I will be a voice for people of the district and fight for their interests, not the special interests.
On a day where ExxonMobil again announces record profits, I oppose the $40 billion in budget cuts to student loans, Medicaid, Medicare, Child Support Enforcement, Foster Care and Supplemental Security Income."
