In Summary:

In the political arena, I thank the volunteers that walk precincts and help to elect Labor Friendly House Legislators and Senate members to Colorado. Our Local Union is very diverse and this keeps us strong. One of the things that we have in common as members is our livelihood. In order to maintain that, we need to become knowledgeable about legislation, register to vote and volunteer when the need arises.

We are in the process of revamping our Committee on Political Education (COPE) Program to solicit members to this Committee and implement a motivated and educated volunteer base that we can all utilize and mobilize around state legislative issues. We need to register to vote and then commit to vote and support working men and women through legislative issues.

Acknowledgements:

My gratitude goes out to all the members that help and support me on a daily basis. I am very fortunate to be involved with such a great group of people. Your dedication, participation and support are sincerely appreciated by both myself and this Local Union. Without you on the front line, my job would be literally impossible to do. I applaud you and extend my thanks.
