National Nurses United Launches Ad Campaign for Video Calling on President to 'Stand Up' for Retirement Security
January 24, 2011The nation's largest union and professional association of registered nurses today launched an online advertising buy to promote a web video calling on President Obama to "stand up" to corporate interests and for the millions of voters who elected him, especially in the face of calls for him to undermine Social Security and Medicare as Tuesday's State of the Union approaches. The video, which can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/calnurses, includes footage from the president's hometown of Chicago, some of it filmed near his neighborhood. There is widespread speculation that the president may endorse some of the draconian recommendations the chairs of the deficit commission issued last month that included cuts the 160,000-member National Nurses United say would have "a devastating effect on retirement security for nurses and tens of millions of other Americans, especially in the heat of a persistent recession."
