| | AFSCME Resolution: The 2000 elections |
 | | This year's elections will determine whether the next President of the United States is likely to propose dedicating projected budget surpluses to paying down the federal debt and to shoring up Social Security and Medicare, or spend projected surpluses on huge tax cuts for the rich; and |
 | | That, in the year 2000, AFSCME's International Union, its councils, locals and members commit the maximum available human and financial resources to elect political leaders on all levels who are dedicated to advancing the interests of America's working families; and |
 | | That, in 2000, the International and its affiliates redouble their historically compelling commitment to the political process, in order that AFSCME continue to be recognized as having the largest, most effective political field operation in the American labor movement-continuing, therefore, to derive the benefits of being recognized as the best. |
