July 2010
Vote July 20
To Our Brothers and Sisters:
It’s clear that we need to elect friends of working families in Georgia in 2010!
In the Georgia General Assembly, corporate tax cuts and short-sighted investments have come before the needs of ordinary people.
Our state has been devastated – good jobs have vanished, teachers furloughed, and public transportation abandoned.
On July 20 and in the weeks ahead, workers must rise up and vote like your paycheck depends on it – because it does.
IBEW Local Union 613 has endorsed candidates who stand for:
• Good jobs
• Healthcare
• Strengthening public education
• Protection of worker rights to form unions of their choice
• Protection of pensions and social Security
Your vote is your choice. We can only ask that you carefully consider these suggested candidates. However you decide to vote, please go to the polls and vote so that Georgia’s working families are heard.
Fraternally and sincerely,
Gene O’Kelley Ben Myers
Business Manager Political Director
