The AFL-CIO, announced on Wednesday, March 12, 2008 a $53.4 million campaign to denounce Sen. McCain's political positions on issues related to AFL-CIO members, hoping to elect a Democrat to the White House. "McCain Revealed: the Briefing Book" is a new interactive e-journal that details the ways a McCain presidency would take away worker's rights and reduce their standard of living. The Campaign is accessible at www.mccainrevealed.org.
The campaign links Sen. McCain with most, if not all, of President Bush's failed policies like tax cuts for wealthy Americans and NAFTA support which are unpopular with union workers.
