Dear CWA Member,
If Bob McDonnell, the Republican candidate for governor had his way, he'd throw out your union membership and side with corporations over workers - every time. Our unions are on the line this Tuesday. Get the word out to other CWA members to vote for the candidate who supports workers and their families - Creigh Deeds. Spread the word now: In September, McDonnell told the Richmond Times-Dispatch: "I will use every resource of my office to speak out strongly on behalf of the business community, and against card check [the Employee Free Choice Act]." He's also used actions, not just words, to make his anti-union views clear. In 2007, Verizon supporters introduced a bill (H.B. 1755) that would have made it easier for the company to sell off its access lines - and put Verizon employees' wages and benefits at risk. Creigh Deeds voted against the bill - standing up for the rights of Verizon workers and Virginia consumers. Bob McDonnell on the other hand, sided with corporate special interests by supporting the provisions in the bill. Help make sure our next governor will fight for us - not for Wall Street's wallets. Tell other CWA members not to let Bob McDonnell take our unions away: Creigh Deeds had a 92 percent pro-union record in the state legislature. He's the right choice for unions - and the right choice this Tuesday. Thank you, 
Beth Allen |
