Clinton's First Union Endorsement

28 Aug 2007 01:26 pm

The Clinton Campaign today announced the endorsement of the United Transportation Union. UTU represents 125,000 active and retired members in the railroad, bus and public transit sectors across America.

Watch for several major unions to endorse John Edwards after Labor Day.

members - who were not consulted have already started canceling their PAC contributions.

My husband just got off the phone with the DC office. Their response with why they endorsed Hillary is that she is the one polling the best and they need to endorse early so that they are early on the list when it comes to be "payback" time. They did no phoning or letter sending whatsoever to poll the people who are contributing to the PAC. My husband was not only a UTU member but gave a monthly PAC donation. Needless to say, he's cancelling his donation. He even told the guy on the phone out of the three candidates you picked the one who hasn't walked a picket line. Peachy.

Is this based on a hunch, or some sources?

I've watched both parties for multiple cycles, but I've never seen either party's members backlash against a frontrunner like many Democrats do with Clinton. She seems to be a cancer, eating away at the party.
