Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The day we have long anticipated has arrived. Our national collective bargaining bill (S 2123) is expected to be brought to the floor of the United States Senate for a vote Tuesday morning May 13, 2008.

To ensure we prevail in passing this important legislation, I am asking for your immediate assistance.

Please contact your Democratic senator(s) and urge them to return to Washington to vote for S 2123 on May 13. To succeed, we need every Democratic senator there and voting in favor of national collective bargaining.

In addition, if any of the GOP senators listed below represents your state, I ask that you contact them with this message:

"Support your fire fighters and police officers. Please support Senator Judd Gregg's Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act S 2123. The vote likely will be Tuesday morning, May 13."

In addition to making these calls, please send a corresponding email to your senator(s). 

The Senate switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Simply call this number and ask to be transferred to your senator's office. Click here to send your senator an e-mail in favor of S 2123.

Please copy all corresponding emails to your local and state president and to the IAFF at grassroots@iaff.org.  

Our opponents, including National Right to Work and the League of Cities, are working hard to kill this bill. There are only three days before the vote.  Let's really activate our membership and win! 

Fraternally, 

Harold A. Schaitberger
General President

Save the Date

Coming up on Wednesday, June 25th (after the kids are out of school) is the Annual Fire Fighters Day at Six Flags New England in Agawam hosted by the Granby Fire Fighters Local 4172. 

This is always a fun family event so click on the attached PDF file for a flyer with all of the information and a ticket order form.  This is a 4/3 day.  If you are off-duty and always wanted to go but haven't, I highly encourage this event.  The Granby Local does a great job with this.  Maybe we can make this Plymouth Fire's Family Fun Day as well.  Hope to see you there.  Mark P.
