International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers
Interesting email I received the other day:
Five presidential candidates confirmed they will take part in discussions of key domestic issues before more than 600 representatives of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) on August 27 and 28 at the Disney Yacht and Beach Club in Orlando, FL. The schedule for the IAM's Conversation with the Candidates is as follows:
- Mon. Aug. 27, 3:30 pm - New York Sen. Hillary Clinton
- Mon. Aug. 27, 7:30 pm - California Rep. Duncan Hunter and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee
- Tue. Aug. 28, 7:30 pm - Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards and Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich
The candidate conversations will be moderated by Erin Moriarty of CBS News. The event will be streamed, live, from the www.GOIAM.org web site.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers are live-streaming their Conversation with the Candidates, and not only that, but they are emailing people like me to blog about it. Well, not the IAM, but their hired marketing agency, Portent Interactive. I don't think that Portent cares about any of us watching the video, but rather that are trying to boost the Google Rank of the IAM by getting people to blog about it.
Okay, I was wrong! See the comments below...

Actually, we do care.
We pick clients we want to represent. I have worked on labor and related causes for almost 20 years, including before I started my company.
Also, I have no concern for pagerank in this e-mail. Note that what I sent folks did not contain a link. It just had the URL in there, without any linking code, so that folks would know where to go.
