Seven Days And Counting - ACT NOW

Brothers and Sisters,

We have 6 days left to act. The legislature is even now making decisions about closures, lay offs, program cut backs, furloughs, and our healthcare costs. I know you grow weary - all people who fight the good fight do. Battles are won in the closing days of engagements. These are those days. We need every member who can to participate in events in support of our jobs, our healthcare, and the programs that service the people of Washington state. Any member who does not take the time this week to call the hotline, speak to their legislators, write an e-mail, or join in job actions is gambling their own future and the future of families everywhere.

These are the last days of this battle. DO NOT FALL ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH. It will be a trainwreck.

Think you have no time to spend? Imagine the time we'll all find when faced with unemployment. Think your seniority will protect you from this? 20 year members have been laid off as job classes are eliminated altogether. Think someone else will fight your battle? Those who have been fighting all along for you are looking to see where you are.

Many members have spent countless hours driving long distances and using their own time to get this job done. Many others have participated in every way they can find to protect state employees and the services to the public. To those who have sacrificed so much - we owe a deep debt of gratitude. It will be paid in full when every member and represented individual makes the hotline call (1-800-562-6002), or join in an event to support the effort.

They can't roll over us when we stand together - GREEN MACHINE!
