AFL-CIO Site Tracks the Candidates

As part of the AFL-CIO's broadest effort ever to involve union members in the process of endorsing a presidential candidate, the federation has set up an interactive website that examines each candidate's stand on working family issues.

The site, Working Families Vote 2008, provides news, blog links, video and a forum where participants can discuss issues and candidates. An "action center" link lets people e-mail candidates with questions.

Candidates will be grilled and evaluated on issues from the Employee Free Choice Act to good jobs, trade, health care, retirement security and more. Check it out at www.aflcio.org/issues/politics.
