Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is promising to “say no” to ANTI-union proposals if she’s elected president — and that includes rejecting a “Right to Work” law at the national level.   “Unions not only raise incomes and provide benefits for union members, but because of unions everybody is better off,” Clinton said, to applause. “And that’s a message I’m going to talk about every single day in this campaign.” Clinton was the closing speaker at the annual Labor Day “Salute to Labor” in the Quad Cities.

She touted the 256-page policy book she and her running mate Tim Kaine are released today (Tuesday). “I’ll tell you why we did this book,” Clinton said. “I think if you run for president, you ought to tell people what you want to do. Right? And what I’ve tried to do in this book…is to lay out a blueprint for America’s future.” The book’s title is “Stronger Together.” That was the theme of the Democratic National Convention in July and is the name of Clinton’s campaign plane.

Several times during her speech yesterday, Clinton stressed the need to unify the country. “We’re going to run a campaign of issues, not insults,” Clinton said, to applause. Clinton made a brief pitch on behalf of Iowa Democrats who’re on the General Election ballot and offered a list of proposals she’d advance as president, like raising the national minimum wage. She also drew cheers by promising to reject “unfair trade deals” like the Trans Pacific Partnership.

“I hope you will get involved in this campaign for these last two months,” Clinton said. “…We need everybody involved. There has never been a more important, consequential election in our lifetimes.” Clinton spoke with reporters on her campaign plane as she flew into the Quad Cities. Clinton answered questions about how she handled email during her tenure as secretary of state. Clinton also raised concerns about Russian cyberattacks that might interfere with the U.S. election.

A spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee called Clinton “dishonest” and accused Clinton of the “reckless mishandling of classified information” with the email set-up she used as secretary of state.

The governor has signed a proclamation declaring this week (September 5th through 11th) as Suicide Prevention Week. Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), Suicide Prevention Program coordinator Pat McGovern says there’s a simple goal. “Really just wanting to raise awareness that suicide is an issue that affects many, many Iowans, many more than I think most people understand or believe,” McGovern says.

Health Department statistics show suicide is the tenth leading cause of death for all Iowans and the second leading cause of death for 15 to 24 year-olds and those ages 25 to 44. McGovern says you can help prevent a suicide by reaching out to friends, family and co-workers. He says it’s not always easy. “It really depends on your relationship, it’is different if a really good friend or a family member who you are really comfortable with — as compared to someone who you might work with and might socialize with at work — but not be friends with outside of work. So, it really does depend on the relationship,” according to McGovern.

He says it is important to take action regardless of the relationship. “The really bottom line is that it’s okay to ask someone how they are doing. It’s even okay to say ‘are you thinking about suicide, are you thinking about taking your own life?,'” McGovern says. “Again, that’s not a comfortable thing, that’s not something that comes naturally to most people. I am in that group. But it is okay to ask that. If someone is suicidal, asking them that question is not going to make them more suicidal.”

McGovern says asking someone about the issue could start a conversation that lets them know there is help available. He says if you addressing thoughts of suicide it isn’t something you have to tackle on your own. You can call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800- 273-TALK or go to www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org. You may also contact Your Life Iowa by calling (855)-581-8111, texting (855)-895-8398 (2:00 to 10 p.m. Central) or visiting www.yourlifeiowa.org.

McGovern says there are often signs that someone is considering suicide. “There are, and normally it’s not just one thing. We all have ups and downs, some days we are happier than others and that can be caused by any number of variables,” he says, “and feeling suicidal is the same way. It’s not just one thing in a vacuum. It’s normally a constellation of events or feelings or experiences.”
