Across California, Union Members Confront McCain
by Seth Michaels,
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.
The McCain rhetoric on housing reinforces a fundamental truth:
He doesn?t have much interest in, or knowledge about, the domestic
issues that matter to working families.
That?s painfully clear from McCain?s statements about trade, health
care and jobs, and it?s clear from his decades of anti-working family
votes in Congress.
He can?t and won?t be the leader we need to turn around America.
Here?s some straight talk:
McCain just doesn?t get it.
And, just as they have in Pennsylvania, Missouri and elsewhere, union
members won?t let him escape that fact.
