CA Duers--RECALL to arms

[Capn Sunshine]

I met yesterday with a very organized, really energized group of Union folk here in So Cal.

Not to worry. The unions recognize the recall for what it is: a threat against all the gains made by the unions under the Grey Davis administration. They know the code words folk like Ahhnold use: "Business friendly" = kill unions. Out with the 8 hour day. Out with prevailing wage. The whole shebang. It's no accident that disinformation from the media claims that California is "not business friendly". Nothing could be farther from the truth. I am in the busines of financing businesses, and the business environment in California is not the problem. Washington DC is. But the Union is strong here. THAT is one of the core issues they hope to defeat.

The unions, and I was with at least 50 different locals reps today ARE ON THIS BIG TIME. They have dedicated a minimum of 2.5 million to the anti-recall effort, and more is rolling in from the locals as they report.

Where they are weak is where DUers are strong: INTERNET!
Please email me at :
[email protected] if you are willing to join in an internet mail campaign. First thing I wil be sending is the talking points.
If you have the time, call any local union rep or AFL -CIO in your area and volunteer. They are already ramped up on this and will welcome your call. But by all means, email me!

Our plan is to motivate the democratic base and shove this thing down their ba*#@rd throats. So they give up on this as a strategy elsewhere. Help me out here.
