New poll came out yesterday in the Detroit Free Press.  The race for governor is a dead heat.  mark schauer convention

If every registered voter voted we win.  If 60% of registered voters vote, we win. But 60% will not vote unless we talk with them.  Every voter we talk with can be the one who makes a difference.

If you are sick and tired and can’t take Governor Snyder anymore then you are obligated to work a shift.

If you are fed up to the cuts to our K-12 classrooms then you are obligated to work a shift.

If you are fed up with the slashing of higher education funding then you are obligated to work a shift.

If you are fed up with paying 20% for your health care then you are obligated to work a shift.

If you are fed up that taxes were raised on low income workers then you are obligated to work a shift.

If you are fed up that taxes on retirees have increased then you are obligated to work a shift.

If you are fed up that the money saved by hurting children, the low income and seniors was given to corporations then you are obligated to work a shift.

If you are fed up that the Governor lied to you about supporting Right-to-Work then you are obligated to work a shift.

If you are fed up that the Governor refuses to take a position on equal pay for equal work then you are obligated to work a shift.

If you are fed up that taxes on parents were raised with the elimination of the tax deduction for children and the college tuition tax credit.

If you want a Governor who supports our issues, who respects our work, who believes in working families and their unions then you are obligated to work a shift.

If you want a Governor who is himself a union member then you are obligated to work a shift.

There is no magic to winning.  We knock on doors and make phone calls to talk with voters we can win.   If we don’t we will lose.

If you are fed up with the above and want a Governor who supports you, your family and your work, and have canvassed and/or called for Mark Schauer, thank you, thank you, thank you.  You are carrying the load for all of us.

If you are fed up with the above and want a Governor who supports you, your family and your work, but you have not, or do not plan to do the work necessary to elect Mark Schauer let me ask you—-how then can Mark win?

Fed up with Snyder?  Sign up to volunteer by clicking here and someone will get back to you to schedule a shift time and location.  From now to through when the polls close on Tuesday there are shifts scheduled for 9am, Noon, 3pm, and 6pm at various locations around the state.

The race is a dead heat.  Shame on us if we Snyder wins and we did not do everything possible for Mark Schauer.

In Solidarity,

David
