Yesterday, Barack Obama and members of the Culinary Workers Union went door to door to encourage Nevadans and Local 226 members to stand for change in next Saturday's caucus.
Speaking to the Culinary workers at the canvass kickoff event, Obama said:
"This is a time of great economic uncertainty for many Americans. People are working harder for less and paying more for everything from health care, to college tuition, to filling up the gas tank. The time has come to help the middle class reclaim the American dream."
Obama, who began his career as a community organizer, canvassed a Northeast Las Vegas neighborhood with Culinary Workers Union President Geoconda Arguello Kline and Local 226 members. The union represents over 60,000 members in Nevada and announced its endorsement of Obama for President on January 9th. The Obama campaign also took to the doors on Saturday, when volunteers and supporters launched canvasses from hundreds of staging areas across the state.
"The time has come to help homeowners who are struggling to pay their mortgages, provide relief to those who were ripped off by lenders, and raise the minimum wage so working families can afford the rising costs in this country," Obama continued. "Now is the time to put divisive politics aside and come together as a nation to solve our problems and bring about change we can believe in."
