KEENE, Calif. - Leaders of the United Farm Workers union announced Sunday they are endorsing John Kerry's presidential bid.

The Democratic senator from Massachusetts has been a friend of the union for decades, said president Arturo Rodriguez. With victories last month in Iowa and New Hampshire, Kerry is also the front runner to take on President Bush.

I hope they serve grapes at his next fundraiser.

LOL he advocated cutting/doing away with the AG department let it wither on the vine.

I guess Bush's immigration proposal is not a big enough of a give-away to the hispanics.

Dog bites man. Yawn.

Dang, I thought maybe we had a chance at this one this time around...I mean the new immigration policy and all.

Well with the new NEA budget maybe we can count on the Musician's Union.

Totally agree. No matter how much pandering Bush and the Republicans do, liberals will never vote for them.

Groups like the NEA aren't supporting Bush even though the 2005 budget contains over $58 billion for the Ed Dept.
