Purple Brigade Update July 21

With 189 members of the Purple Brigade to date, we're starting to make an impression on people all over Arizona. Word is getting out that our endorsed candidates are making strong voter contact with the help of a "previously unknown" group of volunteers very early in their campaigns. In other words, the Purple Brigade is making July look like late October, when campaigns muster all their forces for a last push for votes. If we're making this kind of impact now . . . well, imagine the affect we'll have on Arizona politics in the last month leading up to the November elections. We are changing Arizona!

State Employees Take Action on the Budget

May 3 Political Conference

In the short time since state employees started building our new union with SEIU:

 Hundreds of state members have met with and talked with lawmakers about the budget.  
 Our Purple Brigade, currently 188 members committed to political change (and growing), is now the largest independent political force in the state and is on the streets every weekend talking to voters about candidates who recognize the value of state workers and who, when elected, will welcome our participation when important decisions need to be made.
 We've launched a big campaign to gain the same freedom to form a union and negotiate improvements that employees who work for private businesses and cities like Tempe and Chandler already possess.

Stop Payday Predators
We trust that Arizona voters are smart and won't fall for the deceptive advertising.  They'll understand that a 'yes' vote means 391% interest rates while a 'no' vote means a cap of 36%.  That's an easy choice.
