1199 Sends Help to Wisconsin

1199 Sends Help to Wisconsin

A reader passed along this email they say is from an SEIU Local 1199 operative asking if anyone wants to travel to Wisconsin to campaign for Barack Obama, starting tomorrow and going through Wednesday.

In the subject line it says “air, car, accomodations [sic] included”. The email goes on to say, “SEIU just officially endorsed and this request just came at us.”

An email to a spokeswoman for 1199 was not immediately returned.

Dept. of Strange Signs: Yes, that is a MikeBloomberg.com ad that popped into my Gmail account when I opened this message.

My sisters just took off to Wisconsin because of the SEIU! It was all last minute but she's been an Obama volunteer for a while. I tried to talk her out of it(big storm tomorrow) but alas what do big brothers know...
