In New Hampshire this election was never about mobilizing just enough union members to win an election. Labor 2008 in New Hampshire is about reinforcing the labor movement throughout New England and building the type of coalition it will take to turn this country around after Barack Obama is elected President, Jeanne Shaheen is elected to the U.S. Senate, and Paul Hodes and Carol Shea-Porter are sent back to the Congress. We have 3 days left to make sure we start out on the right track, and this election comes down to you, your family, and your friends. Make sure everyone gets out and votes.

Bob Haynes, President of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO is optimistic about this election. He says: "We have a chance to represent working families again in America. We have an opportunity to elect new leaders and to start talking about issues that are important to us like education, health care, retirement security, and really restoring the promise of America."  Watch video of Haynes talking about the election before participating in a labor walk here.
