The senior executive from the nation's largest labor group walked door-to-door through a middle class neighborhood in Northern Virginia carrying a twin message for union households.

On Election Day, urged Tefere Gebre, vote not only for Hillary Clinton but also against a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would weaken organized labor.

Standing in a steady drizzle on the stoop of a white house in Woodbridge, Gebre made the sale to postal worker Michael Brown.

"Anything that comes up against unions, I'm voting 'no,'" Brown, 68, assured Gebre. Without unions, Brown said, "it means employers can fire you for no reason at all."

Our rethug governor has boasted about economic growth but conveniently ignores the fact that the state has the highest number of minimum wage jobs in the country. But keep voting R, guys, at least we got Jesus and guns...

Mailers about Hillary is going to hake your guns away. Of course, they did that when Obama wa running too. Hasn't happened yet, can't believe the gun humpers are falling for it again. I know somebody who felt the need to go out and buy a semi-automatic weapon after the mailers. That person is not pro-Trump, but hates Hillary. Sigh.
