“One cannot have a trade union or a democratic election without freedom of speech, freedom of association and assembly. Without a democratic election, whereby people choose and remove their rulers, there is no method of securing human rights against the state. No democracy without human rights, no human rights without democracy, and no trade union rights without either. That is our belief; that is our creed.” PeopleHumansStatesBeliefDemocracyRightsSpeechLaborElectionMethodTradeUnionsDemocraticHuman RightsRemoveAssociationRulersCreedsFreedom Of SpeechAssemblyLabor UnionTrade UnionsUnion SolidarityDemocratic Elections Author:George Meany

“Attaching the word marriage to the association of same-sex individuals mistakenly presumes that marriage is principally a matter of adult benefits and adult rights. In fact, marriage is principally about the nurturing and development of children.

“And finally, there is another danger: the emergence of nonideological but very aggressive 'isms,' which are really quite new. Let me at least name them: We all care about human rights, but I am afraid of 'human rightism.' We all want to have a healthy environment, but I see the danger in environmentalism. To put it politically correctly, I admire the second gender, but I fear feminism. We all are enriched by other cultures, but not by multiculturalism. I am aware of the importance of voluntary associations, but I fear NGOism.” WantHumansCareCultureNamesEnvironmentRightsFeminismDangerHealthyLet MeImportanceHuman RightsGenderAdmireAggressiveAssociationMulticulturalismEnvironmentalismEmergencePolitically CorrectIsmsOther CulturesHealthy Environment Author:Vaclav Klaus
“The Grocery Manufacturers Association is behind the bills which have been trying to pre-empt states' labeling laws in the Senate. And they have a lot of money and power in Washington.
