A Double Helping of Alphabet Soup

Wisconsin Labor 2010 member-to -member walks and phone banks are going stronger than ever.  

The numbers speak for themselves.  Over the last two weeks, more than 600 volunteers have visited or called union households in 26 different towns and cities in order to support candidates who will rebuild the middle-class.  Thousands of working families are now aware of the AFL-CIO endorsed candidates, but we need to reach tens of thousands more before Election Day.
