All the brothers and sisters who, every election cycle, pound the pavement, make hundreds of thousands of calls, and run the GOTV effort that gives Democrats such an edge. Thank you all for your great support of Democrats every year, and Senator Obama this year.
In your honor:
He won't shop at Wal-Mart. He is for a law making it easier for people to join unions. If president, his appointees would be "sympathetic" to labor. He said he walked picket lines while a state senator.
It's "been a long time since we had a president who said unions are a good thing," said White House hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) at an AFL-CIO presidential forum
