Ads Are First Effort
by New Labor Federation to Hold Politicians Accountable
WASHINGTON, Six of the union affiliates
of the
Change to Win labor federation (CTW) have launched a radio ad campaign
targeting Texas
Congressman Henry Cueller (D-TX-28) for a voting record that
favors millionaires and big corporations
over hard working Americans.
The Cueller ads state "tell me who you are with and I'll tell you
who you
are," and make the case that Cueller, with his record of support for President
Bush and
Tom DeLay is looking out for the wealthy rather than the working
families of his district.
