Obama Spent Day Working on the Job With Homecare Worker Beck

DENVER, CO-On Tuesday, SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger and homecare worker Pauline Beck will address the Democratic Convention to keep the focus on the issues at stake for working families this election. Burger will talk about Obama's long record of standing with working families and why working people are uniting behind him in 2008 and Beck will discuss the day Barack Obama spent working on the job with her last fall.
 
"Senator Obama joined my family for an early breakfast and joined me in caring for my 87-year old client,"said Beck. "It was an experience I'll never forget and tonight I get to share it with the rest of America."
 
"Our next president mopped floors, he did laundry, he made lunch, and he wanted to know every detail about my job,"added Beck. "It was the most impressive thing I've ever seen a politician do. I believe he truly understands what our families need to achieve the American Dream."
