For the Daily Gate city
COUNCIL BLUFFS - The largest caucus get out the vote effort by a labor union this year gets rolling in Iowa this week as the “Fire Fighters for Dodd” 20 city, eight day bus trip through the state hits the road here Thursday.
It is the latest push by the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Chris Dodd.
The Fire Fighters will travel the state in a 42 foot gold and black RV with the “Fire Fighters for Dodd” wrap. Starting in Council Bluffs and ending in Des Moines on Dec. 6, Iowa fire fighters will seek to boost support for Dodd.
At each stop, IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger will join presidents of Iowa IAFF locals and fire fighters to discuss Sen. Dodd's record of support for working families and their communities, particularly in providing resources for emergency response.
Schaitberger also will urge fire fighters to participate in the Jan. 3 caucus so they can have an impact in the elections as they did in 2004 when fire fighters mobilized to ensure Sen. John Kerry's surprise caucus victory.
“We need a president who can get things done and has the experience to lead, and Chris Dodd clearly has a record of accomplishment and a legacy of diplomacy that makes him the obvious choice.” Schaitberger said.
The Fire Fighters for Dodd Iowa bus will stop at t 1:30 p.m., Monday at the Keokuk Labor Temple, 301 Blondeau Street.
Its next stop will be at 6 p.m., Catfish Bend Casino, 3001 Winegard Drive, Burlington.
