The one that shows which endorsed by board vs membership. That's a pretty big deal on iL with members not being heard. I'd love to bookmark that. And thanks for sharing this, too.

And a labor union guy came out of the dinner to talk with us, to show his support. Said the TPP was not supported by the Union.
