This incredibly
cool e-booklet is your One-Stop McCain shop. I wish I could embed it here. Its that good.
Very user friendly, concise and honest. Short bulleted items - easy to remember talking points for friendly debates with neighbors and co-workers, with links to the details of McCain's awful positions and votes.
Yes, McCain is old, but this booklet shows that he is an old
politician with a long and useful voting record that can be used to attack him effectively. You many question Senator Obama's "present" votes, but Senator McCain chose the
wrong side of many, many issues that working Americans of all races and income groups, oppose. And they are all there for you to read up on!
Check out a couple of these beauties:
McCain Opposed Applying Davis-Bacon to Federal Disaster Areas. McCain supported an amendment to prohibit application of Davis-Bacon requirements for fair wages in declared federal disaster areas. It would have undercut the wages of people working in the harshest conditions. (S. 1650, Vote #320, 10/7/99)
McCain Voted Against 2004 and 2005 Highway Bills. McCain voted against the 2004 $318 billion highway and transportation bill that would create about 5 million jobs over six years in new highway and transit construction projects, although Bush said he would only approve up to $256 billion in funding. The legislation contained Davis–Bacon prevailing wage protections. McCain also voted in 2005 against a six-year, $286 billion reauthorization of the federal highway and transit construction program. The infrastructure modernization bill would create 1 million family-supporting jobs, protected by Davis-Bacon prevailing wage standards.
McCain Has Voted for Every Other Bad Trade Agreement That Has Come Up. McCain votes in support of any and all trade agreements regardless of their negative impacts on U.S. workers. He voted for trade agreements with Oman, Singapore, Chile and Morocco, among others, as well as for Fast Track bills to make it easier for the president to enact trade agreements without strong worker protections.
McCain Voted to Use Social Security Money to Pay Off National Debt. In 2003, McCain voted to use Social Security funds to pay off federal debt.
May I suggest you bookmark that page of the AFL-CIO's site to refer back to, then consider joining their
Rapid Response Team. With the well laid out position booklet, you can easily toss off a couple LTTEs.
This tool is my dream come true for the upcoming election! Spend a few minutes playing with it and you'll see - we're taking back the White House, baby!
