Brothers and Sisters,

There are 25 days left until the General Election for the U.S. Senate vacated by John Kerry. Although the campaigns appear quiet, there has been a lot of work going on behind the scenes. With such a short period of time to go, the PFFM endorsed candidate, Congressman Ed Markey needs our help.

There are a number of ways listed below that you and your Local can help and we have teamed up with the MA AFL-CIO to ensure that in this busy time of year, we are successful on June 25^th. We are providing the schedule from today until Election Day for your convenience.
