"You Don't Want A Rookie"

Connecticut Fire Fighter Chris Tracy came up to Manchester, New Hampshire last Friday to be there for the roll-out of the International Association of Fire Fighters endorsement of Chris Dodd for President. After the event, he talked to a local TV reporter. Here's part of the interview:

Chris Tracy: ...we've had to use all together too often. With the SAFER Act they've provided equipment and funds back in the Nineties, before 2001. With the FIRE Act, rather the FIRE Act then, the SAFER Act later that helped us staff our equipment, and the Family and Medical Leave Act, and the energy, and the protection of the Constitution. Terrific, important issues that Americans understand. Here's the thing, you don't want a rookie to run the fire when you see your house on fire, and we have a seasoned professional here and we want him in the White House.
America's Professional Fire Fighters know that Chris Dodd has the experience and the bold ideas needed to keep America safe and secure while restoring our standing in the world. He's their pick to sit in the Oval Office in 2008 and Tracy does a great job articulating why Dodd's proven record of legislative leadership and success is the best recipe for the Presidency come January, 2009.
