They came through for us! Great to hear that!

I knew the union wouldn't let us down for Election Day. This will send a message to the public, especially the anti-union crowd, about the need for unions and the right to organize in general in order to rein in the greed of management.

The Comey letter is going to mean a lot, hopefully, but Hillary and McGinty really, really, really need max turnout in Philly. Could be a Senate swinger.
