SEIU Aug. 11 Rally with Concerned Citizen Groups

At Lewis Rowe Elementary School

SEIU

Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1107, the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada, Mom's Rising and other concerned Nevadans stood together to let Sen. John Ensign and Sharron Angle know that education, healthcare and Nevada's families are not "special interest groups" and Nevadans more than ever, need real leadership in these tough economic times.

SEIU Campaigns for Reid

Susan Smith and Sen ReidSEIU Representative Susan Smith joined dozens of supporters on Saturday to meet
Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Dina Titus. The message from Sen. Reid was: Every voice makes a difference and only as a team can we (both Reid and Titus) return to Congress.

Susan has been volunteering for more than two months. "I was motivated by the closeness of the numbers and realized that if I get out there, I can really make a difference," said Susan. Susan has just been named precinct captain and says she's encouraged by the response she gets when she talks to Nevadans about the election.  "People know how much Sen. Reid has done for this state. As Nevadans, we can't afford someone like Sharon Angle who says it isn't her job to bring jobs to Nevada," said Susan.

We all need to let our voices be heard that we support Sen. Reid and the work he has done on behalf of our state, our workers, the unemployed and protecting social security. If you're interested in volunteering, you can contact Susan at ssmith@seiunv.org
