CWA likes what it hears from President Obama during State of the Union

Posted on 1/27/2012

On Tuesday, January 24, as President Barack Obama wrapped up his State of the Union address, the Communications Workers of America issued a statement praising the president "for his focus on creating an America that is built to last with an economy that works for everyone, not just a wealthy few."

The statement added that the CWA "strongly supports legislation that would end taxpayer subsidies for corporations that get tax breaks, then move call center jobs offshore, among other measures." It chastised a legislative process that "rewards corporate interests and abandons U.S. workers, when it comes to manufacturing and services."

The statement also is critical of the role corporations play in election processes. "That's why CWA supports measures to limit the outsized and harmful influence of corporate money in U.S. elections," it says.

You can read more about the CWA's political viewpoints, and some of the activities it is planning, here at their website.

Nice. The Unions profess that they are to be the only ones allowed to pour millions of dollars into and to inluence elections.

Words are cheap, It isn't what the president says that matters, it is what he does and President Obama hasn't helped the employment situation, the economy or the over taxed middle class.
The fact that he talks well doesn't help us at all.
