We call on labor leaders, union members and working people to unite behind Bernie Sanders for a voice in the presidential political process and to elect the President working families need a President who will answer to the 99 percent!
We are Labor for #Bernie2016. Join the political revolution today
How does he do any of what he says without the house and senate? It's going to take a lot more than a revolution that can't possible happen in a years time.
So what will Hillary, the most polarizing figure in politics, get accomplished?
Exactly. Republicans will not vote for Hillary. But some will for Bernie. In fact Republicans will probably be very motivated to vote against her. Voters will not be inspired to vote for Hillary but they will for Bernie Sanders.
Hillary belongs to the corporate world Lisa
NONE WILL VOTE BERNIE!!!
Bernie has been in congress for years and has experience working with them. Also has a strong track record of standing up for civil rights, women's rights, and labor rights.
Hillary is beholden to Wall Street and big oil almost as bad as the republica..

For old and new postings........check the Review section
LOL - this pre and post-endorsement stuff is like everyone salivating over the big, beautiful bag of gramma's choco-chip cookies you just bought, going to the office and teasing your coworkers by wagging the bag in their faces then when you all sit down to enjoy those delicious cookies, you find the bag was full of air
Lawd, gotta love the primary season.

That's being kind.

I support Hillary and belong to SEIU local 206.
Read the comments and make up your own mind about the comments.

(4,549 posts)I will NOOOOOOT be supporting Hillary.
What are they thinking!?
Glad you said to check out the union facebook page.
Nearly all the comments are negative about the endorsement, and are supporting Bernie instead.
I feel better about that.
And I believe it is an outright lie that the announcement states that the member are endorsing Hillary. They did not call for a vote of the membership. They are not speaking for the members.
It is wrong.

I doubt any of those posting negative comments are SEIU members. Most are Bernie's keyboard warriors.

(11,417 posts)If we make a public appearance supporting a candidate we are asked if we want to participate. No one is forced to vote for Hillary in the primary.
But many of us will man phone banks for her in the general. And many others will go door to door.
