WARNING! Major fight Ahead!

WARNING!
Gore/Bush Coming.
Major Fight Ahead.

The upcoming elections are a vivid reminder of why we founded the Labor Party. No matter who wins, the next President will be sponsored by and highly responsive to corporate interests. Our job? To build a movement powerful enough to force the next occupant of the White House to address the issues we care about.

Major Fight Ahead

The Details:

 On Jobs & Economic
Security, Al and George W.
Span from Bad to Worse

On Globalization & Trade
