In Politics - Coming soon, Upcoming Elections - Information soon.   Calling all Laborers There is a Voter Registration Drive to get all Laborers in the Western Missouri and Kansas Laborers District Council registered to vote in the upcoming Presidential and State Wide Elections. We will also register family members, friends and anybody that is interested in electing people who will help keep our Members working. There are people in elected office right now that are trying to cut your wages, and benefits. We need to vote them out of office. You and your family’s future depend on who is elected on these next elections. Please call your Local, who has a Political Captain that is running their voter registration program or call me at (913) 432-1903 and we will get you registered. We cannot afford another four years of the current elected officials that are taking care of the rich and hurting and destroying the working people of this country. Get involved in your Local’s PEC and VOTE. Check your Laborer Line and Web pages for information and share it with your family and friends. We are Laborers and we need to depend on each other. Remember, you and your family’s future depend on us. To Recieve Voter Registration Information sent to your home click here to send your Name and Address. An example below of our PAC at work showing politicians who support us.   It seems like George Bush's government needs to learn from the lessons that the average American has learned (often the hard way).  Don't spend moren than you make. Use some common sense. Learn to prioritize. Learn the difference between "need" and "want". You have to take care of your family first. Don't start fights with your neighbors and expect to live in a peacful neighborhood. George Bush's government needs to stop blowing (and lowering) the family paycheck when the children at home need shoes. You can't take a trip around the world (Mars) when you can't afford to fix the clogged up septic tank in your own back yard. Taking your neighbor's property by force is called STEALING! Being a parent is putting your childrn's needs above your wants. The old folks have to be taken care of. George Bush is ruining the middle class of America. Wake up and Vote! This President is killing off the middle class in America.We don't need John McCain to replace him. Your kids futures are at stake. Get Registered. Get your family registered and vote. We need your help! LIUNA will work to make its endorsement meaningful by mobilizing its half-million members through an unprecedented member outreach and mobilization program that will use member-to-member contact on jobsites and in homes, communication through direct mail, robo-calling, text-messaging, email and websites. "We will make sure that every member knows the issues," said O’Sullivan. "That includes not just Senator Obama’s work on behalf of working families, but John McCain’s record during his 26 years in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. We respect his service to this country, but John McCain has worked to undermine the family-supporting Davis-Bacon Act, has tried to negate the work of proud Laborers by supporting the creation of a helper sub-classification, and has supported trade agreements that ship good jobs overseas. He has also attacked working people, good paying jobs and secure retirement by attacking pensions and health care plans and with his persistent opposition to investing in the highways, bridges, waterways and other basics that working America depends on," continued O’Sullivan. Retiree Council President Larry Oxley and 1290 President Carlton Young with LIUNA General President Terry O'Sullivan. 1290 HOME PAGE Copyright © Laborers'Local Union 1290 - 2003
