THE MOST POWERFUL 60K MEMBER STRONG UNION IN NEVADA ENDORSES BARACK OBAMA



I'm here in WIN CITY not sin city aka Las Vegas where Nevada's most powerful and influential union has just endorsed BARACK OBAMA for President. Sen. Obama had met with Culinary Workers Union Local 226 previously six times and he was there personally on October 18, 2007 to congratulate workers from six Downtown casinos - Four Queens, Fitzgeralds, Las Vegas Club, Plaza, Western and El Cortez for settling their differences and preventing a strike. This is HUGE because every Culinary Workers Union Local 226 member has a direct and/or indirect connection with Nevada's over 2 million residents. The Culinary Workers Union Local 226 members are the true, tried and tested "GRASSROOTS AMBASSADORS OF CHANGE" and come in direct contact with the city that "never sleeps" approximately 39 million (and counting) annual visitors. Las Vegas is a a real life "FACEBOOK", constant uploading "YOUTUBE" and the 24-7 "MYSPACE" to AMERICA and beyond. Nevada's Presidential Caucus is on JANUARY 19TH and it should be very interesting to see what's going to happen in "WIN CITY". I encourage everyone to tune into the BLACK AND BROWN ISSUES DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE co-hosted by the 100 Black Men, Nevada Democratic Party, U.S. Hispanic Chamber, IMPACTO and the College of Southern Nevada (CSN). Moderated by MSNBC's Brian Williams and accompanied by Tim Russert broadcasted LIVE from Cashman Center in Las Vegas. Sen. Obama's first job out of college was bringing churches together to help address the poorest Chicago neighborhoods' pressing problems. The Culinary Workers Union Local 226 never forget that. They recognized their FELLOW BROTHER because he never forgot THEIR struggle to be paid a fair wage for a honest day's work, be able provide for their families relative to food, clothing and shelter at a bare minimum, have good healthcare and retirement benefits, be kept reasonably safe from harm at home and abroad, good public schools for their children, be able to buy a home and freely worship. Afterall, IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE.
