In two weeks, CWA's Executive Board will meet to discuss potential endorsements of the
candidates for President of the United States. To help make a decision that is representative of
our union, we want every member's input.
Presidential endorsements are major decisions -- if we endorse a candidate, he or she will have
the full weight of CWA's political resources. Your vote counts in the Executive Board's
deliberations, so cast your ballot today.
We've made it even easier for you to let us know who you support.
Just text ePoll 253199 to 69866 to vote via text message or visit

Tell Congress to support The United States Call Center Worker and Consumer
Protection Bill --- www.cwa-union.org/uscallcenterbill
With American families struggling, it's time for companies to bring good jobs home. Foreign call
centers not only ship jobs abroad, but they endanger our confidential personal information because
they operate without US data regulation. You can tell lawmakers to support the US Call Center Bill.
The Bill would build jobs in America by:
-Creating a customers' right to know - Ending the secrecy about call center locations, so outsourcers
and offshorers can't hide anymore.
-Forcing companies that outsource abroad to return federal funding - Because our hard earned tax-
dollars shouldn't go to support corporations that ship American jobs to foreign countries.
-Giving you the right to be transferred to a US-based operator.
But we need your support. Members of Congress will only sign on if they hear our
voices loud and clear. Use our simple tool to send a message to your US
Representative - www.cwa-union.org/uscallcenterbill
January 9th:
The race for the Republican presidential nomination is officially underway!
Mitt Romney’s narrow, 8-vote victory in Iowa showed us how close this election
is -- and how much each vote matters.
In less than 4 weeks, President Cohen and CWA’s Executive Board will meet to
discuss potential endorsements of the candidates for President of the United
States. To help make a decision that is representative of our union, we want
every member’s input.
Take our Presidential ePoll today and let us know where you stand.
To help make your decision easier, we’ve created a "Candidates on the Issues"
web site – listing everything from President Obama’s stance on good jobs to
Newt Gingrich’s views on retirement security.
Once you’ve learned about the candidates’ positions on the issues that are
important to CWA and our movement, make your voice heard:
