LOCAL 828 PAC COMMITTEE SAYS 2011 WILL BE BUSIEST YEAR EVER; NEED VOLUNTEERS AND DONATIONS

Rochester, N.Y.-- You would have to be living under a rock not to know that House Republicans have done ZERO to create jobs since claiming the Majority three months ago. Absolutley nothing. Nada. Zip. Nothing.

However, they’ve found time for votes to restrict access to reproductive health care for women, go after gay people, take teachers out of our classrooms, nurses out of our hospitals, and even to defund NPR. All told, if Republicans got their way, the proposed cuts would destroy 700,000 jobs.

We expect more from our elected officials. We need to hold them accountable. We at the Voice Reporter have had enough of our lawmaker's extremist anti-jobs, anti-labor agenda and we believe you have too.

An extreme Republican majority has launched an all out assault on middle class values. It began in Wisconsin, but has spread to Congress and state houses across the country.

Secretive groups like Karl Rove’s Crossroads GPS are already up on the air running vicious attack ads against House Democrats who are standing up against the Republican assault and fighting for middle class working families.

To this point, our Union family counts on individual donors and volunteers like you for 100 percent of our political action efforts. Together, we can turn back this anti-labor attack on the middle class and move America forward with your help. All we need is a commitment from you. Please consider joining your Local Political Action Committee today.

We expect a busy 2011 political calendar for the local labor community.  Click here to find out more about CSEA Political Action.  All 29 seats in the Monroe County Legislature are up for grabs, as well as the County Executive and District Attorney races.  Plus, throw in one County Court judgeship and one City Court seat, added to several local town and village offerings, and we have more than enough work to go around for everyone.
