collecting signatures for a petition. If we worked hard and got the word
out in the neighborhoods the citizens would support us and vote for us to
collective bargaining. The first office I held in our Union was Sgt at
Arms. I was appointed to fill an unexpired term of Recording Secretary in
1978. I have been re elected every term since. As you know, I am committed
to our Union and I am asking for your support once again. Thank You. It is
an honor to serve you.

Message: Thanks for the time and effort you are
putting into this election. Remember that it's for you to vote! It's often
said that if you don't vote you don't have a reason to complain. I don't
agree with this. As dues paying members I feel you have the right to voice
your opinions and our elected officials should listen. Terms like "it's
too complicated" or "you wouldn't understand" are not the
appropriate
answers to your questions. I hope to help resolve some of these problems.
Thank you for your consideration. 210.859.2285,
