A FEW WORDS ON THE CONGRESSIONAL MIDTERM ELECTIONS
I’m not going to tell anyone who to vote for. But in this important election with control of Congress on the line, there is one party in particular to punish. And that is the Republican Party. By far this Republican Congress has been the most anti-worker, anti-union, anti-family, anti-environment and pro-big business Congress in decades. You can look for yourself at the bills passed or defeated in this last Congress (go to aflcio.org/voting record). And look who voted for or against labor’s interests. (Go to localagitator.org to see how YOUR Congressmember voted).
