To all you factory workers or non-union who want to be union read..
Labor Day and the two major party conventions have come and gone, kicking off the most important 60-day general election campaign in memory. On a day when the unemployment rate shot up to 6.1% and the number of job losses so far this year spiked to more than 600,000, the choice before us could not be more clear. We can chart a new course of change and begin the long hard task of rebuilding the labor movement and the middle class by electing Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Or we can bury our heads in the sand and follow John McCain and Sarah Palin down the disastrous path of Bushonomics.

On Thursday night, in his acceptance speech at the GOP convention, Sen. McCain ignored the growing housing and credit crisis that is severely damaging the Postal Service and offered the same tired policies advanced by George W. Bush. He called for more corporate tax cuts and expanded free trade agreements and vowed to fight the so-called "union bosses." Those are the kind of policies that have caused pension and health care coverage to plummet and that have caused median family income to decline by more than $2,000 annually since the year 2000. And while Gov. Sarah Palin introduced her husband in both of her prepared speeches this week as a proud member of the United Steelworkers union, she sarcastically disparaged Barack Obama's community organizing work to help laid-off members of the USW in the 1980s. Meanwhile, both McCain and Palin oppose the enactment of the ---Employee Free Choice Act. ----(right to form a union.)


This was wrote by my National Union President to all union members.

1. A voter's *interests* clearly tell him or her who to vote for....

What other aspects of a voter say, only that voter knows.



EDIT: Subject typo.
