Greg Denier, Communications Director for Change to Win, says that the American dream is a progressive vision and that on November 4, working people voted for a fundamental shift in the relationship of government and society. For the last two years Change to Win has been conducting a survey on the meaning of the American dream. And it includes an active role for government. Today nearly one third of workers must go into debt to meet basic costs–to pay the bills, their mortgage, and health insurance. So now that the election is over Change to Win and the labor movement will be working to turn the hope and optimism that elected Barack Obama into real changes in the lives of working people.
