[@lisafeck1537]

God bless you. I have not experienced anything like J.D. Vance has, but who can not imagine what he has gone through, and know that millions of children have been through the same. Likewise millions of American parents have been on the opposite end of what Vance, and so many other children have been through. They were the ones using, addicted, suffering tremendously, and they recieved the 2nd chance at life like Vance's mother did. What a stroy of victory. How can anyone not be moved woth compassion for the addicted, for their children all their loved ones? It would take a very hard cold heart, man or woman to not see the humanity, decency and hope in his story. I believe he tells it not just to win an election, but to spread the reality from the now adult, of the child that went through the adversity, and credits all the emergency workers who helped save his mother, restore his family. Whatever your life, your struggle, I believe there is real hope, and redemption, prosperity for us all, no matter our mistakes. There is none who does not have serious mistakes in our lives, it may not be an addiction, but those mistakes impact us just the same. Human behavior seems so mysterious to me. Don't let the past destroy the future, I preach to myself. God bless you and yours.

@@polandfresh101 the unions responsibility is to vote for policies that are friendly to unions. Republicans are tradionally anti-union. It is true that alot of members will vote for Trump but the unions bosses have to put their personal beliefs aside and endorse whats best for the whole.
