Also we will be addressing the retiree’s at their luncheon on Wednesday the 10th. If there is anyone wanting to attend a meeting and hasn’t been able to attend any of the previous ones please call the hall and we’ll gladly work something out so you can be informed.  Also the copy of the proposed contract and ballots were mailed out the 3rd of September 2008. 901 were sent out – let’s all work to make sure EVERYONE returns one so ask your co-workers if they have voted and if they say NO ask them why not. A lot of money is spent on elections so don’t allow it to be a waste of your money.

(Health care costs paid with tax-free money) Funds carry over. No “use it or lose it rules” like Flexible Spending Arrangements. More like a Roth account. Links to the Dept. of Treasury official sites about what these accounts are all about.

What you didn't hear from the Republicans at their convention is a single new idea about how to make the healthcare system work, get our economy moving for the middle class, or improve education.  Just attacks -- on me, and on you. 

But what the McCain attack squad doesn't understand is that people like you -- who devote part of their busy lives to organizing and building their communities -- have the power to change this country. 

I saw John McCain's attack squad of negative, cynical politicians. They lied about Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and they attacked you for being a part of this campaign.

But worst of all -- and this deserves to be noted -- they insulted the very idea that ordinary people have a role to play in our political process.

You know that despite what John McCain and his attack squad say, everyday people have the power to build something extraordinary when we come together
With your help, that's exactly what we're going to do. 
Thank you, 
Barack 

 

"Change happens because the American people demand it — because they rise up and insist on new ideas and new leadership, a new politics for a new time," Obama told the adoring crowd at Invesco Field. "America, this is one of those moments." Click the graphic or go to www.cwavotes.org/volunteer


Our health care system is broken. 
Click on the graphic to play the game.
It may be working for greedy insurance and drug companies – but it sure is not working for workers, retirees or employers. What ails the system can't be fixed at the bargaining table. We must elect candidates who will reform our nation's health care system so that we all have health care we can count on.

But do you know what the candidates are proposing?  We've developed a fun tool to help you learn about Barack Obama and John McCain's health care plans.  The CWA Health Care Challenge puts the candidates on stage as you match each candidate to the policy he supports and identify which policies support CWA's principles for health care reform.  Play the game now – the results may surprise you!
