POLITICAL ACTION: UNITED WE ARE STRONG!

Each of us has the ability to make a difference in the political system and we must stand up and be counted. It's absolutely necessary that we demand more from our politicians than a good campaign strategy that tells us what they want us to hear.

When we unite through political action programs, get-out-the-vote and voter registration drives we can help shape local, state and federal elections in a way that politicians will get our message.

Part of this effort includes informing ourselves about issues impacting our workplace and our families. Then we can vote to elect candidates who will advance our issues.

Fighting the Bush Agenda
It is more critical than ever to educate your activists and allies about the Bush administration's assault on working families and to do this, the AFL-CIO has created a new tool to use in developing a grassroots campaign to galvanize opposition to the Bush administration agenda.

There could be no more important time to educate your delegates, local union members and the labor community about President Bush's attacks on working families. We need to counter Bush's attack fiercely and begin organizing now for the 2008 Presidential election.
