Description: At a Labor Day Rally in Pittsburgh, PA The United Steelworkers (USW) endorsed Senator John Edwards as the Democratic nominee for President. The USW, was joined by the United Mineworkers of America (UMWA), giving Edwards the largest bloc of union support of the eight presidential candidates. Steelworkers President Leo W. Gerard and UMWA President Cecil E. Roberts announced their endorsement by making clear the stakes hard-working families face and laying out why Sen. Edwards is the best candidate to lead the fight for change in America. "Edwards is committed to going to bat for everyday Americans and to changing a broken political system that leaves millions of Americans without a voice in their government." "He will fight to restore the freedom of workers to form unions and raise their standard of living through collective bargaining." "He 's laid out a plan that will lead to universal health care for every single American." "He'll work to halt global warming and secure the health and safety of generations to come." "He'll challenge trade policies that export jobs." "John Edwards will restore the principle of one America with opportunity for all, instead of one America for wealthy elites and another for the rest of us." |

I am behind John Edwards 110%. JOHN EDWARDS FOR PRESIDENT!!! __________________________________________________ | |

| shamtown ::: Favorites 2007-12-17 23:38:24 John Edwards is the only candidate that has a specific plan to help the working/middle class both with worker rights and taxes. Every union in America should endorse this man because he is the only candidate who can win and help organized labor to be what it needs to be. __________________________________________________ | |
