PHILADELPHIA, April 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Hundreds of Teamsters are mobilizing in Pennsylvania for get-out-the-vote efforts across the state in advance of next week's primary. The 1.4 million-member International Brotherhood of Teamsters has endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president.

Staff and volunteers are reaching out to Pennsylvania's 83,000 Teamsters at job sites, at home, by phone, e-mail and mail, urging them to vote next Tuesday.

Teamster members are available for media interviews, and reporters are invited to cover voter mobilization efforts across the state.

Why don't more of them.

NAFTA stole and outsourced their jobs. She supported it.

They should be bitter, and then act in some progressive action.
