John McCain: Wrong For Working Families

After seven years of George Bush, our families need a president who will ensure we all have access to affordable health care, turn the economy around, end the war in Iraq, and protect our retirement.

John McCain is the wrong man for the job.

Thousands of SEIU’s Democratic and Republican members have invited McCain to sit down and talk about the issues that matter to working families.

We asked him to propose a real health care plan. We asked him to join us and discuss how he’ll create a new American Dream. We asked him to walk a day in our shoes.

But McCain ignored us every time.

Instead of standing up for working families, John McCain will continue the failed policies of George Bush.

John McCain:

• Has no plan for ensuring access to affordable health care. Instead, his plan would make coverage more difficult and less affordable for individuals who really need it.
• Said the Bush tax plan would hurt middle class Americans—but he supported it anyway.
• Voted to cut billions from children’s health care, Medicare, and Medicaid. He has also voted to suspend Family and Medical Leave.
• Supported President Bush’s plan to risk our retirements by privatizing Social Security.
• Wants our troops to stay in Iraq. In fact, he’s said we could be there for 100 years - and that it’s not too important to know when we should leave.
• Says he doesn’t really understand economics.
• Voted against increased education funding almost every year since 2001. He also voted to cut student financial aid.
• Voted against raising the minimum wage.
• Opposes our freedom to have strong unions.
• Has no plan to protect families facing foreclosures or protect them from predatory lenders.

McCain is not the pro-worker president that Americans need. That’s why SEIU members—Democrats, Republicans, and Independents—are uniting behind Barack Obama.

Our families can’t afford another four years of George Bush’s policies. We can’t afford John McCain.
