Big Endorsements for Hillary Clinton
In
a joint statement, two Four Star Generals, Bob Sennewald and David
Maddox are endorsing Hillary Clinton for President. Sennewald is the
former Commanding General, U.S. Army Forces Command, and Maddox was
formerly Commander in Chief, U.S. Army-Europe. Clinton spoke at the
American Legion on Wednesday:
“Having each served over 34
years and retired as an Army 4-star general, we each have worked closely
with America’s strongest allies, both in NATO and throughout Asia. Our
votes have always been private, and neither of us has ever previously
lent his name or voice to a presidential candidate. Having studied what
is at stake for this country and the alternatives we have now, we see
only one viable leader, and will be voting this November for Secretary
Hillary Clinton.”
Today,
during the National Air Traffic Controllers Association’s convention in
San Diego, Hillary Clinton issued the following statement:
“I
would like to congratulate Paul Rinaldi and everyone with the National
Air Traffic Controllers Association for a successful convention in San
Diego. I am honored to have earned the endorsement of this proud
organization’s 19,000 members.
“Every day, hard-working and
highly-skilled air traffic controllers keep our country moving, growing,
and thriving. Almost 900 million passengers travel by air in the
United States each year, and NATCA’s members ensure we get to our
destination safely—helping us take business trips, meet our families,
and explore the country and the world. And through it all, this
organization has fought for good benefits and wages for all workers and
helped build our country’s middle-class.
“As President, I will
stand with NATCA and organized labor like I have my entire career. My
top priority will be building an economy that works for everyone, not
just those at the top. We will make the biggest investment in American
infrastructure since the end of World War II—including in the National
Airspace System. We will defend the right to organize and bargain
collectively and fight against right-to-work legislation that is wrong
for workers and wrong for America. And we will help workers retire
with the dignity and security they have earned.
“If I am elected,
American workers will always have a seat at the table and a champion in
the White House—because when unions are strong, families are strong, and
America is strong.”
