As a proud TWU member in Kansas City I would like to announce that the amfa drive will die here. The reason for this amfa meeting is to get KC to carry them over the top, but it is not going to happen. This base is to smart and strong to be led down the failed path of amfa. Your organizers will leave town very disappointed because the support they seek is not here. Every time you guys have a drive you will get defeated here. Now get out of town.

My World--
How about just getting the vote over with? Let all of your Brothers and Sisters decide who they want to represent them? If it dies, it dies. If it's AMFA, it's AMFA. That is how democracy works, not leaving 3,000+ people without a chance to even have a say.

Although not a AMT, I'm still NEGATIVELY affected("infected") by the TWU.
This election seems strangely similiar to the presidential election.
AMFA, like the democrats, will WIN(in close elections) for the same reasons.
"Deceiving the people/members"
"Losing jobs"
"ANYBODY BUT BUSH/TWU" !!!!!!!!

Not that I do not believe every thing I read, not that I don't take what Harvey ( wasn't he a real big rabbit?) writes, cause I do...but aren't you the same outfit that yelled at us about the FM1 ruling? Scooooze me if I don't get to upset just yet. Then again, you're the same group that goes out and leases buildings before the election...go fish! Hey TA, you didn't lease Local 15 your basement again did ya?
