NYC Corrections Officers Endorsing Barak Obama



NEW YORK (AP)  -- One of the largest municipal jail unions in the country said Monday that it will endorse Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois for president.

``Barack Obama is the one candidate who will put an end to the divisiveness in this country so that we can finally achieve greater economic prosperity for the working class and health care coverage for all Americans,'' said Norman Seabrook, the president of the city's Correction Officers' Benevolent Association. The group has about 9,000 active members.

Obama said in the same statement that he looked forward to working with the union as he continued to build his campaign for president.

``It's an honor to have the endorsement of these men and women who put themselves at risk everyday to serve on the front lines of our nation's criminal justice system,'' he said.
