Region 1
OBAMA for PRESIDENT!
"We're ready to take the offense for organized labor. It's time we have a President who didn't choke saying the word 'union.' We need to strengthen our unions by letting them do what they do best --- organize our workers. If a majority of workers want a union, they should get a union. It's that simple. We need to stand up to the business lobby that's been getting their friends in Congress and in the White House to block card check. That's why I was one of the leaders fighting to pass the Employee Free Choice Act. That's why I'm fighting for it in the Senate. And that's why we'll make it the law of the land when I'm President." Barack Obama, Dubuque, IA, November 13, 2007 James KennedySubmitted by ATU 1700 on Wed, 01/24/2007 - 11:20am.
