AFL-CIO Mailer Hits McCain On China Trade
The AFL-CIO is dropping a new mailer today in OH, MI and PA, criticizing John McCain's position on trade. The piece, which plays on the Olympics, is being sent to union swing voters in 50K homes.
Dennis Philippi, an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers member from North Canton, OH, is quoted on the mailer: “2.3 million jobs outsourced to China? That’s not a world record I would be proud of.”
The lit alludes to the union's position that the Bush administration, with McCain's backing, has allowed China to violate trade rules and its own labor laws to boost the profit margins of large multinational corporations at the expense of workers.
Per AFL-CIO officials:
"This piece is going to a microtargeted universe of union swing voters in neighborhoods and communities hardest hit by China trade, where factories have shut down and jobs have been outsourced. Many of these voters are aware of the damaging effects to their communities of unfair trade with China under the current model, but many do not know the extent to which McCain has been supportive of current trade policy and the outsourcing of US jobs to China."

Good ad! Bush/McCain are also enriching China by fighting our wars with loans from China. Guess we really did pay for the Olympics, huh?
Bush/McCain are bad for America, bad for American workers. Real patriotism is caring about the quality of life of Americans, not Iraqis. Bush/McCain want to give Iraqis universal health care before we get it here in the U.S.
Right now, Bob Barr is the only candidate who makes sense. McCain is horrible. I'm sending the Republican Party a message and voting for Barr. Everyone should check out his website.

John McCain is all about enriching his pals on the back of organized labor and veterans.
John McCain, the candidate with the 20% record from the Disabled Veterans of America is no friend of those that have sacrificed for this country. McCain has sold veterans and union members down the river like a modern day Judas.
