The AFL-CIO will formally endorse Obama on Tuesday, as it kicks off a campaign sending 400,00 union members door to door to encourage voters to support the president’s reelection bid. Labor leaders say their efforts are to counteract the political power of Super PACs. They also will commit $400 million to the campaign.

The New York Times reports:

With numerous super PACs expected to broadcast a flood of TV spots in support of the Republican nominee, the Obama campaign is looking to organized labor to play a major role in offsetting that. Labor leaders say they expect unions to spend $400 million this year on national, state and local elections — including $100 million by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees — but they say their ground troops, not money, is labor’s signal contribution.

I own a 2000 CTD and I can assure you do not let anthing pry your 2002 from your hands. Nurse her, go have after market things done to correct lift pump issues and recalls which Dodge and Cummins failed to address.

Any Cummins produced after 2004 when the EPA mandated that diesel engines must injest and burn exhaust and crank case gases the result has been the 6.7 piece of crap for sale today.

The useful idiots in the unions get their $$$ used for a laundering scheme. Unbelievable. We are living in a sci fi movie - err, trapped in one. Help, Rod Serling, let me out.

I dont mind the money so much, what bothers me is that MSNBC, ABC and MSLSD are in the tank for him giving him free advertising and slamming any republican candidate 24/7

that is what hurts
