Take Offense
This Labor Day weekend is the time to move forward. The people are with us. The newest Gallup polls say that unions have a 70% approval rating, while the Supreme Court has 43%, the President has 39%, and Congress is at 19%.
Labor and our allies will make a show of strength at the Longhorn Ballroom at 8:30AM Monday. Let’s make it the biggest and best!
If you haven't already paid for your table of 10 ($350) or individual tickets ($40), you can still pay with credit card online at https://square.link/u/Pfw3iALZ. Even though it is not the best option, some may be paying at the door Monday morning.
We’re Preparing to Win; Trump is Preparing to Lose
As the Harris/Walz campaign keeps gaining in the polls, Donald Trump made a public statement affirming that he plans to contest the election. Instead of trying to win over voters, Texas Republicans are doing the best they can to suppress democracy. Attorney General Paxton is trying to revive the voter fraud case against Crystal Mason and raiding the homes of activists associated with the League of United Latin American Citizens. Governor Abbott is publishing distorted figures about voter roll purges.
These are defensive strategies for losers. It’s time for us to take the offense as winners!
