BARACK OBAMA WON'T TAKE AWAY YOUR GUN...

“I have always believed that the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to bear arms.”
—Barack Obama (Washington Times, 6/30/08)

Obama is committed to protecting the habitats of fish and wildlife and expanding access to places where sportsmen and women can hunt and fish. (Obama campaign policy position paper, accessed 7/8/08)

...But John McCain WILL take away your union.

‘STRONGLY OPPOSED’ TO PROTECTING WORKERS TRYING TO FORM UNIONS. McCain said he is “strongly opposed” to the Employee Free Choice Act that protects workers from employer harassment when trying to form unions, and he voted for a national “right to work” for less law that would attempt to eliminate unions altogether. (Congressional Record, page S8389, 6/26/07; H.R. 800, Vote 227, 6/26/07; S. 1788, Vote 188, 7/10/96)

REPEATEDLY BLOCKED WORKERS’ BARGAINING RIGHTS. McCain voted to block public-sector workers’ right to bargain and to allow employers to permanently replace striking workers. (H.R. 3061, Vote 323, 11/6/01; S. 4, Vote 64, 3/7/07; H.R. 3539, Vote 304, 10/3/96; S. 55, Vote 189, 7/13/94)
