Fellow Union Activists -
As you know, the Bush Administration is constantly attacking our unions. He is attempting to take away our overtime, and he is shipping our good paying jobs overseas.
That is why union members in your area are getting together into county groups. These groups will organize phone banks, lit drops, and door knocks. Since you live in the area and know your neighbors better then anyone else, your input and ideas are fundamental in winning this November.
Because this is a grassroots effort we must start now. We, as union members, cannot afford to lose this election.
Ramsey County , April 27th , 6:30pm, 411 Main St
Washington County, April 28th , 6:30pm, Stillwater Library, 223 4th St. North
I hope I can count on seeing you there! If you have any questions, please call Bree at 651-222-3787 ext. 15
