Illinois AFSCME backs Obama, Breaks for National Endorsement

From the Southern Illinoisan
The Illinois chapter of the country's major government-employees union broke with its national organization Saturday to endorse Barack Obama for president...

Bayer said Illinois AFSCME members have seen Obama stand up for working people over the past 20 years, first as a community organizer, then as a state legislator and now as a U.S. senator. Obama knows how to bridge partisan differences to get results, Bayer said.
Nationally AFSCME endorsed Hillary Clinton and with a lot of speculation and critism that AFSCME President McEntee acted alone.

I look forward to more endorsements to come.

To join the movement, head over to Colorado for Barack Obama and find an event near you. The campaign is hosting voter registration drives, caucus trainings, debate watching parties and other exciting events throughout the state.
