Wahoo!!!

And as just a reminder, Jeff, Mr. Senator-elect actually met with IAM strikers!!

I'm on strike but I donated $64.60 to Merkley (9+ / 0-)

With the Boeing strike in it's 7th week, I only have $150 a week strike pay coming in but I've still sent Jeff Merkley a donation since the strike started. I was quite impressed after talking with Jeff during Netroots in Austin. Merkley is at the top of my list of must have gains for the Senate.

During the primary, UnionNews talked to Kleeb about his positions on workers, this was my favorite part:

Kleeb’s campaign has energized Nebraska Democrats – many of whom resent that Raimondo is running in their primary. The state AFL-CIO has endorsed Kleeb because he supports the Employee Free Choice Act, and probably because of Raimondo’s labor record. “Unions have been a strong force for the middle class in stopping stagnant wages,” said Kleeb, “pushing for retirement health, and a strong voice for education.”

Yep, Scott, well said, very well said.

If you're in Nebraska, look for Scott and sign the truck.
