You must enter a subject for your comment Ryan, I stink at editing diaries, so how about this: (0.00 / 1) It's not the whole UA, just the Baton Rouge Area Chapter, Local Union 198. Local 198 will be organizing  a GOTV drive among their membership (several thousand in the Baton Rouge area) (not sure if it's knocking on doors on making phone calls to union members) for Representative Cazayoux, at 3:00 PM at the Union Hall at: March 1, 3:00 PM 5888 Airline Hwy Baton Rouge, LA 70805 The local union bosses are really excited now, as for the first time in a decade, labor will have a voice in LA-06. This is particularly exciting, as Baker was consistently one of the most anti-union Congressmen about. And, for the record, the whole UA are endorsing Barack Obama. by: Matt D @ Thu Feb 28, 2008 at 23:23:47 PM UTC [ Parent ] by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel.

Would be a great help to the Dem party here in LA. by: BuyUpolitics @ Fri Feb 29, 2008 at 00:33:30 AM UTC by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel.
