After Election Day, the Country is Feeling Positively Blue

by   |  November 09, 2007

The election results are in and it looks like working families scored big. In Kentucky, we helped elect Steve Beshear (D) governor, ousting incumbent Ernie Fletcher (R), infamous for cancelling collective bargaining rights for state employees. In Virginia, we helped our friends capture a majority in the state Senate, ending a decade of Republican control in the chamber. It was only a year ago that union members helped deliver a mandate for change and put a majority of working family-friendly legislators in both houses of Congress. This is just the beginning of our battle to take back America and put the White House back where it belongs – in the hands of working men and women!
