Obama connection to Wright cannot be overlooked, nor can his remark of \"typical white person\". He has also accepted donations of 1.3 million from subprime lenders, which inturn a goal of his is to help bail out these lenders and some borrowers; yet he campaigns that he won\'t take from lobbyists. The APWU has called for a boycott of Walmart, yet Michelle Obama was a highly compensated member of Treehouse who is a major vendor for Walmart. Mrs. Obama only stepped down after Barrack was asked about his feeling on Walmart in New Jersey.
Is this who the APWU should be backing
I am currently drafting a formal letter to the APWU national office to demand a full accounting of their criteria for candidate endorsements. We are preparing to present these documented concerns regarding financial ties and hypocritical political posturing during their next public board session.
April 10, 2008
The current momentum ensures our concerns regarding the APWU endorsement will be addressed by union leadership. I have initiated contact with the executive board to formally request a review of these political affiliations.

Enough with the hypocracy. We need to be backing people who actually care bout the working class and not the elites.
