[Carol Koepp (carolkoepp]

It would be good to hear from those voices.  Actually, I think some  unions 
are getting on board with the reform.  They want more members and they don't 
want undocumented folks to be hold down tha wage levels for the rest of the 
workers.  They want the bottom wages to be higher, making the rest of the 
wage levels also higher.  I'm sure we can get someone from Paulson's office. 
Anyone know a union spokes person?
