As GOP Presidential candidate John McCain scoops up campaign cash from well-heeled Republicans in Pebble Beach. L.A., Newport Beach and San Francisco this week working families will be there. They’ll urge McCain to address working people’s financial priorities and concerns rather than suck up to the rich who have benefited from the Bush economic policies and anti-labor legacy. The California Labor Federation says most of the McCain events cost a minimum of 2300 bucks. The federation’s Art Pulaski says McCain fails to recognize how the current economic situation is negatively impacting California’s working families. Pulaski says McCain could be spending his time this week meeting with workers struggling with foreclosures and bankruptcies.
