Please use this to see the positions of candidates running for President of the USA. You may participate in the poll only if you are a member of CWA.

On February 2, the CWA Executive Board will meet to discuss a possible endorsement of one of the candidates for President of the United States.

To help make a decision that is reflective of our members, we need your input. So we've created an online poll to gauge CWA members' support for each of the candidates.

Please take a few moments to take the poll now at www.cwavotes.org/epoll. Your vote counts.

If we endorse a candidate, he or she will have the full weight of CWA's political resources -- so your vote is extremely important.

To help you understand where each candidate stands on the issues that matter most to CWA -- like good jobs, collective bargaining, and retirement security -- we put together a "Candidates on the Issues" web site.

Check out the web site and then cast your vote in the ePoll now:

Endorsing a Presidential candidate is a major decision for CWA, so we want to make sure we hear from as many of our members as possible. Don't miss this chance to make your voice heard.

In Unity,

Larry Cohen
President
