THINK AGAIN , IF YOU CAN?
you think they are worring about us..wakeup and smell the roses!
Here is someone who wants to hear our stories……
A Call for Stories
Last week I attended a meeting with staff members from Speaker Pelosiʼs office. One of their requests was for peopleʼs stories of the specific impacts of the economic crisis on their lives and their communities. I turn to you for help with this.
At a NETWORK member call-in shortly after the meeting, I made the request. The next morning I received an email from one of the callers with the following:
Black Angus restaurant closed two of three county locations and consolidated activity here in San Leandro resulting in the loss of many food service workers. The local Goodyear, Mr. Goodwrench auto service center, has reduced its daily hours by 1.5 hours, now closing at 5, rather than 6:30 p.m. in order to conserve on salary obligations.I hope some of you will be able to send comparable information and/or your own personal or family story. It is good to have the name of the Representative in whose district it is happening. I sent this personʼs email to both the Speakerʼs office, and to the office of the Representative. Iʼve made a good connection with the staffer working on welfare and labor issues! She was most appreciative, especially as they were having a forum on Saturday in the district.
These stories really are appreciated by members of congress. Thank you for your help.
