Campaign For America's Future put out a fantastic new video that highlights the dire straits facing working Americans today, and compares them to the challenges facing Americans during the Great Depression. The video juxtaposes speeches by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Barack Obama, and asserts that while Roosevelt promised big change, it was the resiliency and unity of ordinary people that ensured it. Can we come together today to deliver on the promise of progress?
