United Steelworkers of America Endorses Senator John Kerry for President USWA, BusinessWire
The United Steelworkers of America (USWA) today endorsed Democrat John Kerry for President, expressing confidence that Senator Kerry would 'take immediate action as President to reverse the devastating decline in manufacturing jobs and the debilitating increases in the nation's trade and budget deficits.

Gerard, 'leaves little doubt that this White House is either totally out of touch with reality, or completely indifferent to the suffering that its policies have caused the great majority of Americans who don't have six- or seven-figure incomes.'
