Welcome to CWAVotes.org!
Welcome to CWAVotes.org, the Communication Workers of America headquarters for the 2008 elections. Our goal is to give CWA members a chance to find out where candidates stand on our key issues and to help members make their voices heard during the campaign season. Though we've already jumped into things, we'd like to tell you a little more about the features of the site.
This is the blog, where you can find the latest happenings with the 2008 election. Stay up to date on the issues that matter most to union workers, find out how CWA members are promoting these issues, and get the latest on the candidates' positions.
For information on our top issues and the Presidential candidates themselves, our Issues pages have what you're looking for. The On the Issues page organizes candidates' thoughts on health care, good jobs, and the Employee Free Choice Act. The Candidates page lists presidential contenders along with their thoughts on the big three issues. Some candidates have even posted special video messages for CWA members.
Coming up empty-handed on an issue search? Pose your question to the contender of your choice on the Ask the Candidates page. CWA delivers all questions submitted on this page to the appropriate campaign offices.
You can also share your opinions by taking our 2008 e-Poll. Here you can tell us which candidate you support and why, or if you're undecided, why you haven't chosen a candidate yet. The results of this poll will be used to help our Executive Board decide which candidate - if any - will be endorsed by CWA. We want all of our members to have a say in our endorsement, so please send us your input!
If you want to be more involved with CWA Votes, sign up for our email updates using the form along the right side of the page. We'll keep you informed about the latest developments in the campaign and new ways you can help. For those of you more interested in online outreach, Working People's Voices is another great way to become a member of the CWA Votes team and spread the word about issues that matter to union members.
Thanks for stopping by CWA Votes, and be sure to come back again for everything CWA members need to know about the 2008 elections.
