It’s GOTV time - AmsterdamNews
Not in at least a half-century have we witnessed a national presidential election in which the candidates hold such vastly different views. On the Democratic side, we have Hillary Clinton, whose credentials are unmatched and who is committed to expanding upon President Obamas legacy of progressive reform. The Republican standard-bearer is businessman and reality-TV performer Donald Trump, whose chief contribution to political discourse is his mainstreaming of bigotry and hate.
In addition to exposing the sad truth of racisms continuing appeal, Trumps rise also reflects a widespread rejection by Republican voters of politics as usual. Large swaths of Trump supporters are frustrated with the inability of their elected representatives to improve their lives.

The mass media also deserve much of the credit for Trumps popularity. No candidate has ever received as much free publicity and air time. Reflecting the stance of media executives,
CBS Chairman Les Moonves said of Trumps candidacy, It may not be good for America, but its damn good for CBS.

At 1199 (
1199SEIU.org), we are making sure that our members are registered and ready to cast their ballots. Hundreds of members are traveling to swing states to knock on doors to get out the vote for our endorsed candidates. Many who are not in a position to travel are canvassing by phone.
We cannot afford to sit this one out. The stakes are much too high! -
