[John Avlon for Congress]( {NAME}, Happy Labor Day! I hope you're enjoying the long weekend away from work, with family and friends, at backyard barbecues and the beach. But let's not forget that what this weekend celebrates is the crucial role of labor unions in building the America we all love. Itâs a holiday that began in New York in the 1880s and then went nationwide. [Watch my Labor Day message here:]( [(And if you're not on Instagram, here it is on Twitter!)]( The core belief driving my campaign is that weâve got to Rebuild the Middle. That means rebuilding the middle of our politics and rebuilding the middle of our economy. After all, the middle class is the backbone of America - and three things built the middle class after the Second World War: labor unions, the GI Bill, and community colleges. I believe that we need to find common ground by building on common facts, and that's why I was sort of stunned - but not surprised - to see my opponent, Nick LaLota, fire off an email claiming that he's been great for labor. Here's a reality check for Nick: He's got a [10 percent rating]( from the AFL-CIO. That's a failing grade by any measure. In fact, LaLota voted to cut law enforcement and teachers. And the agenda from LaLotaâs Republican Study Committee and Project 2025 would be a hammer blow to working families â abolishing public sector unions and collective bargaining and cutting Social Security and Medicare. Itâs time for a better approach that can bring us together, promoting a real proâfamily agenda that lowers the costs for families to bring kids into this world, and then expands child tax credits and builds more housing to make it just a bit easier to raise their children. Itâs all part of an agenda to lower the cost of living and improve the quality of life here on Long Island and across the country. Letâs move away from the extremes this Labor Day. Let's reclaim the American Flag and truthfully say that we respect labor unions and American workers. Because we know that America works best when we work together so we can build a country where everyone who works hard and plays by the rules can achieve their own American dream. -John [SPREAD THE WORD]( PAID FOR BY JOHN AVLON FOR CONGRESS John Avlon for Congress
