Labor Day Press Release:

Fuquay Varina, NC - Ed Ridpath, 2008 Democratic candidate for the North Carolina House, received key endorsements from several organizations representing North Carolina Workers. The Triangle Labor Council and NC State AFL-CIO; the North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE) and Wake NCAE; and the State Employees Association of North Carolina (SEANC) all endorsed Ed Ridpath over his opponent, incumbent Republican Paul “Skip” Stam.

Ridpath stated: “On this Labor Day, we celebrate the hard work of Union Members, Educators, and our State Employees. I am proud to be endorsed by such a wide range of worker organizations that stand up for their rank and file membership. Early in my door-to-door campaign, I learned that many of these hard workers call Southern Wake County home. I am excited to have the opportunity to stand with constituents in the fight for fair treatment, affordable health care, and shared prosperity.”

Congrats, unions are vital to a stronger Middle Class.

I just hope they increase their strength during the next 8 years. It is probably the fastest way for NC to jump ahead for the middle class.

I don't think that Senator McCain doesn't care what's going on in the lives of Americans, I just think he doesn't know.

I am impressed with how hard many labor organizations are working to reach new members and educate the public on the benefit to everyone of strong and active labor movement. Having the public on board helps when making law.

You may have noticed my postings have slacked off, what with the election just over 60 days away. I'll try to let everyone know what's happening with the campaign, and apologies ahead of time for use/re-use of press releases and other campaign material.

BTW, have I asked for your time or money yet?
