Sen. John McCain has worked to craft a media image as an unconventional, straight-talking maverick as he runs for the presidency. But where does he really stand on the issues that matter to working families?

 

You can find out at our updated McCain Revealed site. We’ve researched McCain’s record and his plans for the country to find out what a McCain presidency would mean for working families. The new and improved online briefing book includes the latest information on McCain’s stances on the important issues in 2008: the economy, health care, trade, jobs, retirement security, workers’ rights and the Bush agenda.

 

When you page through the online briefing book, you’ll learn about:

 

  • What McCain’s health care plan would mean for you.
  • How McCain voted on crucial issues like wages, Medicare and the Employee Free Choice Act.
  • McCain’s support for privatizing Social Security.
  • McCain’s enthusiasm for bad trade deals like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Central American Free Trade Agrement (CAFTA).

McCain Revealed also links to full fact sheets on his detailing his positions on key issues, with downloadable features fliers.

 

New features on the site include a page of video clips of McCain, as well as the latest stories on McCain from the AFL-CIO Now blog.

 

The website will educate and inform union members about McCain’s record, help the AFL-CIO carry out its largest member mobilization in history and pressure McCain to address our issues and change his positions on them. The site goes hand in hand with the AFL-CIO’s door-to-door walks, phone banks, worksite fliers and political trainings, helping union members make the right choices in this critical election year.

    Clinton has taken Kentucky and Obama is right there in Oregon.
    The Democratic race for nomination is still very much alive – and most likely to be decided by superdelegates – as CNN points out clearly

    If you’re tired of waiting around for those super delegates to make a decision already, go to LobbyDelegates.com and push them to support Clinton or Obama

    If you haven’t done so yet, please write a message to each of your state’s superdelegates at http://www.lobbydelegates.com

    Clinton Supporters too …. !

    It takes a moment, but what’s a few minutes now worth to get Clinton in office?! Those are really worth !

    Sending a note to current Clinton supporters lets them know it’s appreciated, sending a note to current Obama supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Clinton, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Clinton. It’s that easy…

Out in the grassroots, workers are mighty angry at the thought their health care benefits could be taxed in a health care reform plan.
