Democrat
Republican Independent Voter Education
Corporations spend big money in Washington, D.C. to influence
members of Congress and push their anti-worker agenda in hopes of
increasing their profits by gaining favorable legislation. Corporate
America outspends Organized Labor on politics by more than 15-1.
Teamsters have been able to stop attacks on work
rules and legislation with an effective grassroots political action
program – called D.R.I.V.E.
However, corporations continue to push their legislative
agenda harder than ever. That means we still have a tremendous amount
of work to do. We also have to move forward with our own programs
of fighting the U.S. job elimination actions resulting from NAFTA;
preserving and improving wage and pension benefits; insuring worker
safety and preserving the standards that are in place now.
D.R.I.V.E. is funded through your voluntary
contributions of as little as $1.00 or $2.00 a week.
Your voluntary contribution can be made through
weekly payroll deduction.
Your voluntary support of DRIVE will help us with our efforts to
elect political candidates who have a proven voting record of supporting
working people and their issues – regardless of what political
party they belong to.
D.R.I.V.E. is non-partisan and independent from any political
party.
Your voluntary contribution will be used for:
• Voter registration programs; financial support
for political candidates who have a proven record of working with
us – not against us.
• Keeping members and their families informed on key issues;
providing voter guides showing the voting records of your Senators
and Representatives in the U.S. Congress
• Rallies, news conferences, advertisements, and phone banks
to build support on issues of concern to working people.
