As the Labor 2012 campaign heats up heading into the final weeks before Election Day on November 6, union members and community volunteers are working around the clock to elect pro-worker candidates.
Across the state, volunteers are picking up walk packets, dialing phones and grabbing flyers for the worksite in order to educate friends, family, co-workers and neighbors on working family candidates like President Barack Obama, U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin, who is running for U.S. Senate, and a host of other candidates who will fight for strong, middle class communities.
This week’s all-star volunteer is Mary Sorenson, of Eau Claire, who is a member of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Local 2398. Mary is a retired computer specialist who is making a difference in her community and country with her volunteer efforts.
“I believe that voting and volunteering with the Labor 2012 program encompasses a responsibility I feel to help others in our community and benefit those that are hard-working, middle class or struggling,” said Mary, on why she spends time volunteering.

You is going to be surprised to find out the sheer number of involved websites online. It's possible to become manager without getting described as leader. When writing fiction your yellow hat can establish those greater than life characters which are the centre of the good novels, by just pushing them beyond all accepted limits. Very feminine, they have a tendency to frame the facial skin beautifully, drawing awareness of the eyes. The easiest medium to avail these headgears is thru the internet.
