What's at stake in the race for Senator?
The UNAP has endorsed Sheldon Whitehouse for US Senator. Here's why:
- Whitehouse supports safe nurse-to-patient staffing ratios and a ban on mandatory overtime.
- Whitehouse will change the balance in the US Senate to stand up to George Bush.
- Whitehouse will help to block anti-worker judges and labor board officials.
- As RI Attorney General, Whitehouse helped stop giant, for-profit hospital chains from coming into RI and aggressively advocated for latex-free hospitals.
- Whitehouse helped to create the RI Quality Institute to improve care, lower costs, and expand health care coverage.
- Whitehouse has worked closely with UNAP members and leaders for many years on important health care issues.
- Lincoln Chafee has voted with George Bush 82% of the time.
It's time to elect a Senator who cares as much as we do!
