It is my great pleasure to announce that John Edwards has won the endorsement of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) here in New Hampshire. This is a major victory for our campaign because the New Hampshire SEIU represent over 10,000 New Hampshire workers, most of whom are state employees.

On Saturday, 75 members of the carpenters union loaded up their cars and drove down to Nashua to show their support for John Edwards.  Nothing could have demonstrated organized labor's strong commitment to John Edwards more than the sight of 75 carpenters standing out in the rain, knocking on doors and doing their part to ensure that John Edwards is our next President.



More than any candidate in history, John Edwards has demonstrated his commitment to organized labor by "walking the walk" and helping workers across the country in organizing drives, contract fights and on the picket line.



This endorsement will significantly aid the campaign by providing Edwards with financial resources and volunteers in New Hampshire. [The endorsement will also prevent other state SEIU chapters from sending volunteers to New Hampshire to campaign for either Obama or Clinton.



This is the 12th state SEIU endorsement that Edwards has won; the others include key states such as Iowa, Massachusetts and California.
