Lloyd Becker for 21st District Missouri House Of Representatives

To: Executive Board Members

Fellow union member August, 2004

THE PRIMARY RACE IS OVER AND WITH THIS VICTORY IN HAND I NOW SEEK TO BUILD ON IT AND TO FOCUS ALL OF MY EFFORTS TO INSURE A VICTORY IN THE GENERAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER. WITH A TIRELESS EFFORT I WILL TAKE BACK THE HOUSE SEAT AND PLACE IT IN THE PRO LABOR COLUMN ONCE AGAIN. HAVING BEEN A LOCAL 688 TEAMSTER FOR 31 YEARS AND A DEMOCRAT, I NOW SEEK TO SAFEGUARD THE UNION WAY OF LIFE IN MISSOURI.

WHILE THE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES has CHANGED DUE TO TERM LIMITS. THEIR AGENDA REMAINS THE SAME, CONTROL THE HOUSE, THE SENATE AND CAPTURE THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE. HELP BIG BUSINESS WHILE ELIMINATING OR WEAKENING LABOR LAWS AND WHEN POSSIBLE MAKE MISSOURI A RIGHT TO WORK STATE. IN THE GENERAL ELECTION MY REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION STEVE HOBBS STATES THAT THIS IS HIS AGENDA. HOBBS WHO IS A LARGE CORPORATE FARMER SPONSORED THE WORKERS COMPENSATION LEGISLATION WHICH PASSED AND PLACED FURTHER RESTRICTIONS ON WORKERS ABILITY TO RECEIVE A FAIR SETTLEMENT FOR ON THE JOB INJURIES. SO FAR THIS SESSION HE HAS ALREADY SUPPORTED LEGISLATION TO WEAKEN THE PREVAILING WAGE LAW.

I HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED THE ENDORSEMENT OF: AFL-CIO COPE JEFFERSON CITY MISSOURI, CENTRAL LABOR COUNCIL OF COLUMBIA MISSOURI, TEAMSTER JOINT COUNCIL 13, TEAMSTERS LOCAL 688, IBEW LOCAL124, PIPE FITTERS 533, UFCW LOCAL 27, BOILERMAKERS LOCAL 27, JNESO DISTRICT COUNCIL 1, INTERNATIONAL UNION OF OPERATING ENGINEERS LOCAL 2, THE WASHINGTON TEAMSTERS LEGISLATIVE LEAGUE, INT UNION OF ELEVATOR CONSTRUCTORS LOCAL NO 3, IBEW LOCAL UNION 1439 PAC, IRON WORKERS LOCAL10, TRANSPORTATION COMMUNICATION UNION, PLUMBERS LOCAL UNION NO. 8, C.T.W.& H. LOCAL UNION NO. 135, MISSOURI STATE UAW PAC, LABORERS LOCAL 840, ST LOUIS PORT COUNCIL, PLUMBERS AND PIPE FITTERS LOCAL 562, , MISSOURI STATE COUNCIL OF FIRE FIGHTERS, PROFESSIONAL FIRE FIGHTERS LOCAL 2665, SE MISSOURI BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL, ELECTRICAL WORKERS VOLUNTARY POLITICAL EDUCATION & LEGISLATIVE FUNDS, PAC OF LABORERS' LOCAL 42, UWP LABOR CLUB, AND GAS WORKERS LOCAL 5-6

PLAIN AND SIMPLY PUT: ELECTIONS COST A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY AND I NEED YOUR HELP.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

ALLOW THE REPUBLICAN AGENDA TO MOVE FORWARD OR TO HELP STOP IT HERE AND NOW.

I ASK THAT YOU WORK WITH ME TO BRING VOTER RESPECT BACK TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND ALLOW ME TO BE A STRONG VOICE FOR LABOR AND THE WORKING FAMILIES OF MISSOURI WHO SAY

“ SHOW ME ”

IN SOLIDARITY,

LLOYD BECKER
