President McEntee — “Winning on Redistricting”

by   |  August 18, 2006

President McEntee blogs today at Huffington Post about AFSCME's new political action committee created to ensure the right-wing doesn't railroad gerrymanderd federal redistricting plans in the wake of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision. Here's an exerpt:

Yesterday, in Nashville, TN, AFSCME announced the creation of Foundation for the Future - a new 527 group we are creating in partnership with the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee and NCEC Services. The mission of the Foundation for the Future is to help Democrats prepare for the congressional redistricting fights that will occur in a few short years. The stakes are high. Over the next decade, 36 state legislatures will determine congressional district maps - and of these, 20 have at least one chamber within four seats of changing hands.
