METRO EAST

At the Historic Carney House
Light Fare with Illinois Wines - Smart Casual Attire

The event is being held about seven miles from the Plummer Estate, the home of Sheila's opponent. There is an unfortunate wave of "hometown" loyalty to Jason that is growing here and needs to be stopped. Please join us. We are collecting the checks at the event.

After hearing the news from the media all of this weekend, we Dems need to unite! After the VIP event, there will be a public event with hot dogs, soda, and Blue grass music from Sheila and her band.

I you have any questions , call Regina Hendrickson at (618) 667-1364 or rdhendrickson1@gmail.com or Pamella Gronemeyer at (618) 973-3584 or drgronemeyer@msn.com.

On February 10, 2009 starting at 11:00 a.m. at 20th Street and Lee Avenue in Granite City, Illinois a "March To Put America Back To Work" will kick off from the mostly-idled United States Steel plant and will proceed for approximately one mile through downtown Granite City to the Amsted Rail foundry (American Steel). Over 1600 employees of United States Steel are laid off following the collapse of orders for steel with the advent of the current financial and economic crisis. Amsted Rail has announced the imminent lay-off of more than 600 of its employees following a similar precipitous drop in orders.

A coalition of unions and community groups have organized the March to call upon Congress to immediately pass legislation to create jobs by stimulating the faltering economy through public funding of the rebuilding the country's infrastructure. The March participants will also support the use of American-made products and services as part of any economic stimulus legislation.

A partial list of sponsoring organizations of the "March To Put America Back To Work" include: United Steelworkers, United Autoworkers, Illinois AFL-CIO, Greater Madison County Federation of Labor, Southwestern Illinois Central Labor Council, Ironworkers (East St. Louis), United Congregations of Metro East, Quad City Ministerial Alliance, Chamber of Commerce of Southwestern Madison County , Jobs with Justice, Egyptian Building Trades, Steamfitters Local 439, Piasa Palisades Group of the Sierra Club, SIUE Raise Your Voice Student Organization, Illinois Federation of Teachers Local 743, Sheet Metal Workers Local 268.
