( This picture if from Halloween night at the corner of Sycamore and Cochran where a couple of my friends were rallying against Proposition 8. To the both of you, thanks for standing up for equality.)
A family member forwarded me an email from their labor union talking about the positions that their union has endorsed. To see the full email click on continue reading.
It isn't a surprise that labor unions are endorsing Hannah-Beth Jackson but I am impressed that they are against Proposition 8 which would remove the right of marriage from same sex couples.
It shouldn't be that surprising. Most of us have friend, family member, or coworker that we want the best for and believe should be treated equally under the law. Labor unions stick up for their members, including their gay members.

With legislative staffers, labor union members, and volunteers all working to GOTV for the next few days I expect this to be the contested election season in modern Ventura County politics. Make sure to take pictures, even if you don't want them published until after election day.
Hannah-Beth Jackson For Senate In the face of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, union members everywhere are voting for change. It's about the future of our jobs, our health care and our retirements. That's why union members are supporting Hannah-Beth Jackson for State Senate. No matter what happens, change in the White House isn't going to be enough to turn California around. We need state and local lawmakers who will fight to protect our jobs, our health care and our schools. We need lawmakers like Hannah-Beth Jackson.As an Assemblymember, Hannah-Beth voted to prohibit using taxpayer funds to ship jobs overseas and she opposed cuts to education. We hope you'll join us in supporting Hannah-Beth Jackson for State Senate. Together, we can fix our health care, our roads and our schools. Hannah-Beth Jackson will help us do that.

Dear Friend,
There are just 5 days left until Election Day and we need your help, now more than ever, to make sure Hannah-Beth wins.
It's been a long campaign and we would like to thank you for all your support. We knew this would be a tough race from the beginning and the winds of change are at our backs. But, we need to close the deal, and we can't do it without your help.
It's going to be a very close election. Perhaps only a few thousand voters will determine the result. That means that every voter we talk to from now until November 4th could make all the difference.
Please sign up today to join our Get Out the Vote effort. We will be walking and phoning from our offices in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Conejo, Camarillo and Simi Valley.
Call our Volunteer Coordinator, Elena Richardson, to sign up, and join other advocates for change in your neighborhood.
VOLUNTEER HOTLINE: 805-617-0390
We don't have much time left, so every minute you can spare to help Hannah-Beth will determine the outcome of this election.
We're counting on you!
Thanks,
Sandra M. Sanchez
