John McCain is so clearly wrong for this country. Just dead wrong on all the issues. For these reasons, and because Barack Obama is actually a pro-labor, pro-worker candidate for president, we and the AFL-CIO both endorsed Barack Obama.

Now, as McCain gets ready to accept his party's nomination for president (man I hope Mittens Romney is his running mate), people need to really hear how terrible John McCain would be for this country.

Especially union households. This year, labor is a swing voting bloc - even though we have some of the most at stake - and we need to nail down the labor vote here in Wisconsin and here in Madison. So while John McCain is nominated by the Republicans, we need to spread the word to union households that McCain is wrong at Obama is the right choice.

All around the entire country, union members will be out on the final day of the RNC convention to speak with fellow unionists about the presidential race. We'll do the same thing right here in Madison.

So come on out on September 4th for a major national day of action - meet at the Madison Labor Temple...training, education, and food provided; then we'll head out in teams to canvass union members in Madison neighborhoods.

Time to stick it to McCain and get a pro-labor, pro-worker candidate elected to the White House.
