 “The AFL-CIO is determined that the Tea Party and its corporate&nbsp; backers are not going to get the final word,” said AFL-CIO executive&nbsp; vice president Arlene Holt Baker. “We will expect tens of thousands of&nbsp; union families to come.”
 “We are fueled by hope and not hate,” Holt Baker said.
 The AFL-CIO announced the rally Wednesday as part of an advertising&nbsp; blitz they are launching this coming Labor Day weekend, though AFL-CIO&nbsp; President Richard Trumka declined to say how much the organization is&nbsp; spending on the TV ads.
