that make this world move the working class on behalf of 1 million active and retired members of the UAW I am honored to support kamla Harris and Tim Walls to be our next president and vice president and I want to say thank you to Joe Biden for making history by walking the picket line with the UAW do we believe in Freedom do we believe in Opportunity do we believe in the promise of America [Applause] and unlike Donald Trump I will always put the middle class and working class Families First always I come from the middle class I know what I'm talking about and Savannah so but we got some work to do okay we got some work to do because we know Donald Trump has a very different plan he has a very different plan just look at his project 2025 agenda right if he is elected Donald Trump intends to give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations he intends he intends to cut Social Security and Medicare and he wants to impose what in effect is a national sales tax on everyday products and basic necessi I ities and it will cost The Economist will tell you it will cost a typical American Family nearly $4,000 a year so Georgia on top of all of this if Donald Trump wins in November he intends to end the Affordable Care [Applause] Act to take us back to a time when insurance companies not we're not going back we're not going we are not we're going forward and the reason we know we can't go back to your point the reason we know we can't go back on the issue of the Affordable Care Act remember what that was like before we had the Affordable Care Act remember when insurance companies had the power to deny people with pre-existing conditions remember what that was like children with asthma breast cancer survivors grandparents with diabetes so yeah we're not going back we're not going back we're not going back and we will move forward ours is a fight for the future and it is a fight for Freedom like the freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do reelected he will be a dictator on day one and I will quote terminate the United States Constitution let us be very clear someone who suggests should quote terminate our constitution should never again have the chance to stand behind a microphone and never again have the chance to stand behind the Seal of the president of the United States of America and I think you all have spent your time here sacrificing in all your other obligations to be here together us as one Community knowing we all have so much more in common than what separates us and I thank you for taking that time and listen so we're here to speak truth and one of the things that we know this is going to be a tight race until the very end okay so let's not play too much attention to the polls because we are running as the underdog okay and we have some hard work ahead of us but we like hard work hard work is good work hard work is good work and with your help we are going to win this November we are going to win this November yes we will so look Georgia let me say I'm no stranger to tough fights before I was elected vice president before I was elected a United States Senator I was an elected attorney general and before that an elected district attorney and before that I was a courtroom prosecutor so every day in the court room I stood proudly before a judge and I spoke five words kamla Harris for the [Applause] people my entire career I've only had one client the people I stood for women and children against predators who abused them I took on the big Banks and delivered $20 billion from middle class families who fac foreclosure I fought against cartels who traffic in guns drugs and human beings and I stood up for veterans and students being scammed by big for-profit colleges for workers who were being cheated out of the wages they were due and for seniors facing Eld abuse and I will tell you those fights were not easy and neither were the elections that put me in those offices but we never gave up because the future is always worth fighting for always and that is the fight we are in right now a fight for for America's future we we fight for a future with affordable child care paid leave and affordable health care and on that last subject let's finally expand Medicaid in Georgia so people can take their child to a doctor or go to an emergency room without going into medical debt we we fight for a future where we build what I call an opportunity economy so that every American has the opportunity to own a home to start a business and to build wealth and intergenerational wealth and a future where we lower the cost of living for America's families so when I was attorney general I went after price fixing schemes and love you back love you back and I will tell you when we get this done together my friend and when when I am president I will take on the Bad actors who exploit a crisis to rip off consumers on everyday items to rip off consumers on everyday items like groceries I will take on big Pharma and cap the cost of prescription drugs and insulin for all Americans I will take on the high cost of housing and work with developers to cut the red tape and build millions of new homes and I will give 100 million Americans a tax cut including $6,000 to families during the first year of their child's life understanding folks just need a little help from time to time and it's it's not about just getting by it's about getting ahead $6,000 in the first year of a child's life to help pay for that car seat or the crib or the baby clothes and unlike Donald Trump I will always put the middle class and working class families first always I come from the middle class I know what I'm talking about
