Daily Reason to Volunteer and Vote for Union Endorsed Candidates

October 25- Because we are energizing other voters:

 

Today when we were walking precincts I spoke to a woman who said, “Boy, there are a lot of union people involved in this election.”  Indeed there are.  Whether it is Marti Emerald’s race, or any other race, people are energized about this election.  They are talking about it at work and at home.  A lot of that excitement has to do with the involvement of union members. Just look at the audience behind the candidates at any speech or rally.  There will be a sea of union t-shirts.  Hundreds of union members walked precincts in San Diego and Imperial County today. By the close of polls on election night we will have knocked on tens of thousands of doors and made even more phone calls.  We will have talked to each other at work and at school about the candidates and the issues facing us in this election.  Because we understand what is on-the-line for workers, we are in a powerful position to make sure everyone understands why we are working so hard to get out the vote.
