This is the most dishonest national campaign this country has ever seen with Romney and Ryan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a misinformation campaign, and in some parts of the country it\u2019s working.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ll tell seniors in Florida that \u2018we won\u2019t touch Medicare,\u2019 but when you look at their budget, it\u2019s a whole different story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPostal workers are living what the Republicans are all about. Republicans came up with the pre-funding requirement. They want to privatize everything.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the Republicans had their way, you wouldn\u2019t be here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Republicans are not your friend. They never have been and they never will be. Just look at their record. They want your health care gone. They want your pension at the mercy of Wall St. They want to take your voice. They\u2019ve gone after collective bargaining over the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this is the biggest story in America,\u201d Schultz said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs long as I\u2019m in front of a microphone, I feel obligated to tell the story of the working class,\u201d he added. \u201cWe have to tell your story, over and over again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the biggest election in American history for American workers, and for American women.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Republicans are willing to let some Americans fail. They don\u2019t want everybody to have a voice. They want to suppress the vote, so they can do a better job of destroying workers rights in America.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not going to let it happen,\u201d said Schultz to thunderous applause. \u201cWe\u2019re not going to let them take away what we believe in.
