CEA! Act now with other unions to support WI

Please feel free to copy and paste this message and mail it to CEA & NEA leaders:

Now is the time to band together with other unions and work to support the WI recall effort. Walker started an all-out assault on the union movement and we missed an opportunity to show our support for our fellow unions. 

He has been caught on video telling a billionaire backer that he is looking to break unions using a "divide and conquer" strategy:

And now we see the DNC is abandoning the fight:http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0512/76364.html

We need to act as a union in support with other unions. We need to send a message to those like Walker who would break the union movement and to the Democrats who will not work to stop him: We are many, we are strong, and we are unified."

I urge you to meet with other CT unions to educate our members and to get them to act. There are less than 3 weeks left, but if asked we are ready to act again.
