Locals Plan for CWA Debate Parties and Live Chat with Cohen

Local unions and members are signing up for debate watch parties on Oct. 7, the night of the second scheduled debate between Barack Obama and John McCain, and planning for a live online chat with CWA President Larry Cohen the next day.  That debate will get underway at 8 pm CDT on the 7th.

Go to www.cwavotes.org/partykit to register and download a new debate watch kit.

The first round of parties, held the final night of the Democratic convention, was a huge success, with CWA holding more than 800 parties. With our Alliance partners, that total hit more than 1,300.  

The Oct. 7 parties are another great opportunity to get together with co-workers, friends and families and listen as the candidates talk about the issues important to us, said CWA Executive Vice President Annie Hill. 

During the debate, CWAers can log on to www.cwavotes.org/debatewatch and submit questions about election issues for the live Internet chat that President Larry Cohen will hold the next day Wed., Oct. 8, from noon to 12:45 EDT.

In this live web chat, Cohen will address the questions and issues that CWA members are talking about, from bargaining to politics to health care and more.

To submit questions, go to www.cwavotes.org/debatewatch. Participants also can submit questions live during the chat, so plan to log on to www.cwavotes.org/debatewatch at noon EDT on Wed., Oct. 8. If you can't participate at noon, the chat will be available to read later in the day, posted at www.cwavotes.org.
