I have made thousands of calls for NYSUT to you, our members. You have been nice to me, changed your mind with me, been rude and hung up on me. Nevertheless, over the years I also hear from members that NYSUT shouldn't tell me what to do! Think about it for a moment... In the political arena, NYSUT's legislative wing thinks and breathes politics 24x7. The are balancing what we say in our individual districts and expand it out to the big state political chessboard that it is. We study and evaluate our candidates. Our members want the union to protect their rights and the most important tool to do that is YOUR VOTE! Politics are emothional and close to the heart, education and union benefits are not at the top of the list for most voters. There is very big money in Rich Funke's campaign. I am fighting for money for public schools, public colleges, our children and our labor rights. What will you be voting for? If members want more information on Ted O'Brien, there is an interview on WXXI Connections with Evan Dawson you need to view. |
