Dear Doug,
When you wake up on Nov. 3, will anyone be fighting for working families?
That's up to us.
So much depends on these elections--jobs, Social Security, health care, corporate accountability and more.
Our vision of America is at stake.
*That's why I'm asking you to do your part--to volunteer today for Labor 2010 actions in your area. Click here [ http://aflcio.org/issues/politics/labor2010/volunteer_form.cfm ].*
After you sign up, a Labor 2010 coordinator in your state will contact you with opportunities to make a difference this election season by taking part in neighborhood canvasses, phone banks and worksite leafleting.
We know that educating voters works--people who know about candidate positions on working family issues vote, and vote in their best interests. But we also know that--even this close to the election--too many potential voters can't name the candidates, much less their positions on the most important issues of our time.
That's where you come in. We've done the research, dug into the voting records, scoured the news reports. Please do your part to get the word out.

You know, there are some pretty scary candidates out there this year--people who are dedicated to taking us back to the Bush-era policies that created our jobs crisis and economic disaster. People who want to give tax breaks to billionaires, end critical government services, shred the Social Security safety net and turn Wall Street loose on us again.
Together, we can stop them. Together, we can continue the progress we're beginning to make to create good jobs and repair the economy.
This election is too important to sit out. You have a voice--make it heard.
Thank you for volunteering.
In solidarity,
Richard Trumka
P.S. The anti-worker politicians, the corporate special interests and the Tea Partiers are afraid of our vote. They hope we'll stay home, frustrated and angry. But that's not us. We fight...and we win. *Please sign up now to volunteer [ http://aflcio.org/issues/politics/labor2010/volunteer_form.cfm ].*
