Dear Union Member,

 I know that it is tempting to give up hope following a disappointing session, but the welfare of all of us depends upon us trudging on. We cannot turn our backs on politics or all of politics will turn their backs on working families. As for the State House, we have a lot of work to do there and we are going to need the efforts of people like you now more than ever to get it done. At the end of the day you simply need to understand that some politicians are always going to break promises when the heat gets turned up on them. At least now we can all be aware of exactly which ones we can count on. The key here will be directing our resources to those individuals who do work for working families and working with house leadership to ensure that our funds are not redirected to those folks who do not support us.
