Big Business spends big money in
Washington to influence members of
Congress and push their anti-worker
plans. They outspend working
families on politics by more than
15-1.
Through grassroots political action
and aggressive lobbying on Capitol
Hill and in State Houses and City
Halls across America, Teamsters have
stopped some of the worst attacks on
working people.
But Big Business is pushing their
agenda harder than ever. That means
we have to fight back stronger than
ever. And we have to move forward
with our own programs, like
improving job safety, fighting for
affordable childcare, and stopping
abuses by corporate health providers
and insurance companies.
You can take a stand for working
families by contributing to DRIVE –
the Teamsters’ political action
committee. Your contribution will
support grassroots action by
Teamster families to stand up to Big
Business interests.
And your membership to DRIVE will
help elect political candidates who
care about working people.
Contributions to DRIVE support a
wide range of Teamster activities:
-
Keeping members and their
families informed on the key
issues that affect our future,
including voter guides that show
the records of our Senators and
Representatives in Congress.
-
Rallies, news conferences,
advertisements, and phone banks
to build support on issues of
concern to working people.
-
Voter registration, and
financial support for political
candidates who will stand up for
working families.
DRIVE is non-partisan and
independent from any political
party.
NOTE: Federal Law prohibits
soliciting or accepting DRIVE
contributions from the general
public. Only Teamster members,
exempt Teamster employees and the
family members of both groups are
allowed to contribute to DRIVE. Any
contributions from the general
public will be returned to the
donor.
