AFL-CIO Blitzes Retirees
The AFL-CIO began the final push today of its effort to woo union swing voters who are retirees, veterans and gun owners to the Democratic cause. They're sending a new mailer to 500K retirees in nine battleground states: PA, OH, MI, WI, CO, IN, MN, NC and FL.The piece -- which notes that "McCain is turning his back on retirees" -- focuses on health care and Social Security. McCain, it says, wants to privatize Social Security, tax health care benefits and cut Medicare.
