WISCONSIN SEIU ENDORSES OBAMA
Edited on Fri Oct-26-07 06:21 PM by Ethelk2044
The Wisconsin SEIU today endorsed Obama, citing his "commitment to expanding access to affordable health care and to protecting workers' rights," according to State Council President Dian Palmer in the release. The union has a little more than 15,000 members.

Spokesman Nathan Hoffmann said the union reached out to members through a phone poll asking which presidential candidate they supported and got input from local leaders and those who attended the members political conference in Washington, DC this summer. Then the nine members of the executive board, representing different parts of the state, voted by electronic ballot yesterday.

6. Friend of the workingman
I'm glad some folks are taking the honest message of the Obama Campaign to heart. He's offering America a chance to hope for a new path, a better path, a fresh start. We're all in this together, despite what some campaigns imply.
