Chad Nason
R. I. P.

During a series of meetings at Local 496 in Maine last week, it was brought to my attention that one of the members I had highlighted in the latest edition (September/October - bottom of Page 2) of The COLUMN, Brother Chad Nason, was killed in a car wreck a scant two days after this photo was taken. Naturally, had I known this I most certainly would have made note of it. I sincerely apologize for the oversight, and I will place a similar notation in the next edition of The COLUMN. In the interim, please remember Chad and his family in your thoughts and prayers.       JH

Don't forget to
VOTE

TODAY!

Political heavyweights
pay a visit to
 "The House of Iron"

US Senator Ted Kennedy, US Congressman Steve Lynch, Boston Mayor Tom Menino, Worcester Mayor (and soon to be MA Lt. Governor) Tim Murray, State Senator Jack Hart, State Representative Marty Walsh and a host of other political activists, labor leaders, and rank-and-file members and their families visited the "House of Iron" for a pre-election rally today...

Local 7 did a fantastic job spearheading this rally. Local 7 President Paul Lynch kicked the rally off with a rousing speech. If you weren't there, you missed out on the many comments about how beautiful the building was, and how appreciative the many politicians are to have us in their corner. Working together, we are poised to put the country back on track for working people and their families...

Lt. Governor candidate Tim Murray said it best when he said: "Politics is like your car - If you want to move forward you put it in D (Democrat) - if you want to go backwards you put it in R (Republican)!

Please support the DEVAL PATRICK/TIM MURRAY team for Governor and Lt. Governor of MA...

Please support Steve Lynch for re-election to Congress (if you reside and vote in his district)...

Please support Ted Kennedy for re-election to the Senate...

Don't forget Jack Hart or Marty Walsh if you reside and vote in their area...It's time to put worker's issues at the forefront and we need you to get out and vote and to encourage your friends and family to do the same. These are the elected officials who share our philosophies....
