Green Party Candidate Recieves First Ever AFL-CIO Endorsement
According to Ballot Access News Maine state Representative John Eder has received the endorsement of the Maine AFL-CIO in his race for re-election, the first time the AFL-CIO has endorsed a Green Party candidate. Local AFL-CIO organizations have also given official support to the Working Families Party in several states and the Labor Party in South Carolina.
We trust that the labor organization realizes that they still won't be able to donate money to Eder's campaign.

Let's hope this decision in Maine is representative of an emerging consciousness by Labor nationwide. It really is time that workers began to vote in their own self interest -- and no party represents their interests better than the Greens.
