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.

million workers, is dedicated to helping the tens of millions of hardworking
people who struggle to make ends meet to achieve the American dream. The club wants to change Social Security forever --
