Across California, Union Members Confront McCain

[Ichingcarpenter]

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) spent much of this week in California, holding closed-door, big-dollar fundraisers with his corporate cronies—but he got more than he bargained for. Union members were at each event, calling him out on his anti-worker record.



In addition to successful events held this week across Southern California, union members turned out strongly yesterday to confront McCain in Pebble Beach and San Francisco. Enthusiastic members of the Monterey Bay Central Labor Council and the San Francisco Labor Council held signs, chanted and let their fellow Californians know that McCain is wrong for working families—all part of the AFL-CIO’s national McCain Revealed campaign.



Tim Paulson, executive director of the San Francisco Labor Council, says McCain is out of touch with working families, and there’s no better evidence than McCain’s Tuesday speech on the housing crisis, in which he offered no proposals to address the disaster.

John McCain, as we know, would be a disaster for working men and women. Just last month alone, there were 57,000 foreclosures in the state, and he’s out on record as blaming homeowners for this subprime crisis.

2. How is it that such stupid people get into office?

Are people truly so misinformed or so uninformed that we're reduced to seeing incredibly extreme right wingers getting into office?

3. Stupid people get in to office because corporations put them there.

Drooling sock-puppets as easily molded by the corporate elite running the show.
