Speaking from the One Nation rally, the longtime representative from Michigan asks why we bailed out a dysfunctional Wall Street but can’t put money intro creating jobs for ordinary Americans?"The reason there are so many Detroiters here at this march is that we’re trying to climb out of a continuing depression that has yet to be addressed by the trillions of dollars we’ve spent to pull Wall Street out of its malaise," says Congressman John Conyers, chair of the judiciary committee and longtime representative from Michigan.
Conyers joined Laura Flanders and Thom Hartmann at this Saturday’s One Nation rally to talk about jobs, justice and the midterm elections.
