2008 Elections
Get Out the Vote in 2008!

Since taking office in 2001, the Bush Administration has not does any favors for working people. For example:

• Healthcare Costs Rising to the Sky
• Endless War in Iraq
• Companies Taking Away Workers’ Pensions
• Millions of Good Jobs Sent Overseas
• Wages Don’t Keep Up With Costs
• Union Busters Trample People’s Rights, and Get Away With It

Sadly, this is life in the U.S.
in the 21st century.

We can do better. We must do better. Let’s do it in 2008!

If you agree that we need to take our country in a different direction, here are steps you can take:

1. Ask your UE steward or local union officers for a voter registration form.
2. Complete the form, mail it, or drop it off at the appropriate government office, to make sure you are registered to vote in the upcoming primary and general elections (you may also be able to register online — check your state's rules)
3. Help register people to vote (here's our checklist)
4. Ask the candidates tough questions about the issues that really affect working people:
   • Will they support single-payer national healthcare, that will cover everyone and save our country billions of dollars?
   • Will they take immediate action to end the war in Iraq and bring our troops home?
   • What will they do about the destruction of retirement security?
   • Are they willing to make the rich pay their fair share of taxes?
   
   • Will they help restore the right of workers to join unions?
