Update from Working Families Win
Here's the entire text of Becky's latest email. She says it much better than I could...
HELLO WORKING FAMILY FRIENDS!
Concerned citizens all over North Carolina have responded to our request that they contact their legislators about minimum wage, and YOUR CALLS ARE WORKING!! Senators that have heard from constituents have begun calling on their leadership to ensure the passage of the minimum wage increase this year!!
Here are some stats:
Just on Wednesday, 855 emails were sent to legislators from all over the state! This may be a one day record for our coalition partners! Over 900 e-mails have been sent this week alone!
Every legislator - except two newly appointed legislators - has gotten at least one constituent email!
North Carolina Senate President, Marc Basnight has issued a call to local activists to contact members of the General Assembly in support of a moratorium on new mega-landfills in North Carolina that has passed the Senate and is being held up in the House (this would prevent NC from becoming home to huge landfills that get filled up to 275 feet high with trash imported from other states). Let us respond to this call to action and show the House that we do not N.C. to become the dump of the eastern seaboard. [To write your representative use the Take Action Page]
What kind of screwed up morality has America all a-twitter about whether it hurts too much when you're killing someone in the blind pursuit of justice? I say this: Hold executions in the town square at high noon on Saturday, or don't hold them at all.
The Franklin VA Out-Patient Clinic was on the drawing boards for over 5 years. A retired military officer donated the building. Taylor did not do crap! And here is what he did not tell you!
I HAVE GOOD NEWS and I HAVE BAD NEWS -- VA will open 25
new Community-Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs).
Most, if not all, of the clinics' operations will be
outsourced. Another step in privatizing the VA.
First, congratulations to the veterans in the communities listed below.
You will be getting a VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) soon.
