Mark MacKenzie, President of the New Hampshire AFL-CIO |
The New Hampshire AFL-CIO ran a campaign which directed the energy of union members into the Labor 2008 program. The coordinated effort between volunteers and staff was exemplary As a result, the New Hampshire labor movement is ready to get the vote out tomorrow and lead in the effort to turn this country around.
Mark MacKenzie, President of the New Hampshire AFL-CIO relates his experiences from a labor walk to this election: "AFT President Randi Weingarten and I went to a door, the Knowles family, and this woman came out, she greeted us, and said, 'I'm so glad that you are here. I'm so happy you are going door to door and talking about things that are important to working men and women.' Then she said, 'I'm concerned about my future, I'm concerned about my job, I'm concerned about my husband's job, and we are worried about this nation.' She continued, 'I'm tired as a parent, I want a brighter future for my family, and I want a better way of life for Americans.'"
MacKenzie explains: "That's what people on Main Street are saying and that's what our members are saying."
MacKenzie says: "Just know that we are going to make all the difference in this election."
MacKenzie adds: "When I look my two boys in the eye, I'm going to be able to say to them with confidence that I did all that I could do and that I fought as hard as I could fight. I'm going to be able say to my boys that I did the best I could do to turn this nation around."
All of our hard work comes down to tomorrow, so join your union brothers and sisters, and let's win this election.
