For Kossacks, it's not news that a John McCain presidency would be a disaster for working people.

And here's another worker, Stephanie Teamer, asking what McCain will do to stop foreclosures from devastating more American neighborhoods:

Judy Bagley asks how McCain can think the recession is "psychological" when record numbers are being foreclosed on:
And Jim Jeske wants to know why McCain thinks Jeske's mother didn't deserve the same quality of health care that McCain has enjoyed his entire life:
