Retired steelworker Steve Skvara will be the featured speaker this Saturday at the United Auto Workers Local 5 Hall. Located at 1426 S. Main St., the UAW local will be sponsoring his address on the topic of health care reform.
Few of us will ever forget that electric moment when Mr. Skvara rose at the AFL-CIO Presidential Candidates forum in Chicago and challenged John Edwards - a challenge Senator Edwards clearly embraced.
"What's wrong with America?! And what are you going to do to change it?"

The huge crowd in Soldiers Field stood up in support of this man.
Mr. Skvara put in the most personal way possible what happens to families when health care (or the lack of it) is determined by business interests.
I am so proud that he will be in South Bend. I look forward to shaking his hand and telling him that I'm with him in this fight.
I hope you will join me.
Democracy is not a spectator sport.
