Our family budgets are getting tighter every day, and times are getting tighter for many of us. We are facing increased prices, and wages are not keeping up. Our health care has become more
expensive, the value of our homes is falling and our retirement security is at risk.
expensive, the value of our homes is falling and our retirement security is at risk.
We have a chance to turn this around in November. Barack Obama will make sure the American economy works for people like us–people who work hard to ut food on the table, fill our cars with gas, heat our home and send our kids to school.
We need an economy that works for all of us. This is why our union is supporting Barack Obama for president and Joe Biden for vice president. This is why I am personally supporting Obama and Biden and asking you and your family to do the same.
Obama will fight for us, and he will be a strong voice for us on working family issues. He knows that unions keep the middle class strong. He co-sponsored and voted for the Employee Free Choice At in the U.S. Senate and has pledged to sign it as president to protect workers from harassment when they try to form unions and bargain.
Obama supports extending unemployment benefits, funding children’s health insurance and providing help with heating our homes this winter. He supported a program to help homeowners refinance mortgages, and he voted to eliminate tax breaks for companies that export jobs. Obama believes our trade agreements must have enforceable labor and environmental protections, and he is concerned that everyone has access to secure, high-quality heath care.
Once elected, Obama will be ready to move forward with an energy program that not only moves our country away from dependence on foreign oil but also begins to develop a new economy of jobs based on building our country’s energy future and independence.
Barack Obama has a vision for the future–a future that puts working people front and center. By choosing Joe Biden as his running mate, Obama has shown that his priorities lie with working families. Biden grew up in a working class Pennsylvania family, and he has been a tireless supporter of working families as a senator from Delaware. He will make a strong vice president and great partner in Obama’s efforts to fight for the workers of
America.
Obama represents a change in the direction of our country. Working families cannot survive another administration of failed economic policies, rising debt and the shifting of wealth to corporations at the cost of workers.
How you vote is a personal decision , but I hope you and your family will join me in supporting Barack Obama for president
