The road to the White House starts tomorrow in Carson City, Nevada 2-21-07

[Omaha Steve]

The road to the White House starts tomorrow in Carson City, Nevada – and AFSCME active and retiree members are in the driver’s seat!

AFSCME will host a presidential forum tomorrow at noon Pacific time (3:00 Eastern, 2:00 Central, 1:00 Mountain) with eight Democratic candidates. The forum will be moderated by ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos, who will ask these and other questions on our members’ minds:

* Will they pledge to support public service workers and the services we provide?
* What will they do to protect Social Security and ensure that every American retires in dignity?
* How will they make college more affordable for poor and middle class families?

The forum is already getting major attention across the country, including this write-up in the Washington Post. And AFSCME President Gerald McEntee wrote about the forum in his latest Huffington Post contribution: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gerald-mcentee/the-road-to-the-white-hou_b_41682.html


And the best part? Even though the event is exclusively for AFSCME active and retiree members, the entire country can watch the forum live on C-SPAN and the ABC News website.

In solidarity,

5. This dead horse was beaten weeks ago.

Quick, cross him off your "to elect" list!

3. Way too early to start!

If we would limit the election season to 8 weekswe would spend less money on this stuff. And possibly increase voter turnout.

I'm just sayin.
