Marshalltown UAW President: “Working Families Trust Obama to Change Washington, Fight Lobbyists and Special Interest PACs”

Local #893 Announces Support for Obama in Iowa Caucuses

MARSHALLTOWN - Dennis Stewart, President of the UAW Local #893, announced today his community action program committee will support Democratic Presidential Candidate U.S. Senator Barack Obama in the Iowa caucuses. The Marshalltown UAW has more than 3000 members and retirees.

“The Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs have been in charge for too long. This week, here in Iowa, their desperate attempt to control the political process is all over our televisions,” Stewart said.  “Now more than ever before, working families know Barack Obama is the only candidate in this race who’s not getting any help in Iowa from Washington lobbyists, special interest PACs, or the shadowy outside organizations known as 527s. That’s why working families can trust Barack to change Washington, tell the truth and win in 2008.

"Based on the support for Barack Obama at last month's Region 4 CAP conference in Dubuque, our Marshalltown Local #893 CAP committee is encouraging our more than 3000 members and retirees to Caucus for Barack," Stewart said.
