Mitt Romney on Unions -- Is This What YOU Want?

A Message From Mitt Romney

Mitt Romney has made it clear, over and over again, how he'll treat organized labor the day he steps into the White House.   Watch this video, and see how Romney feels about Unions, in his own words.  Spread the word -- share this video with friends, family and co-workers.  Tweet this URL http://bit.ly/theelection2012 -- or share it via e-mail, or your Facebook account.

 A Playhouse for Four Oaks - At the Ballpark

 

  






















 




A playhouse Built by Pros, assembled at the Carpenter’s JATC, and roofed with copper color clad by retirees and working members of Sheet Metal Workers Local #263 will be raffled to raise money for Four Oaks. The playhouse was transported to the Kernels Baseball Complex.  Tickets will be on sale throughout the 2012 season.  

The Building Pros of Eastern Iowa and many contractor suppliers have donated materials and hundreds of hours of time to build this large, two story playhouse.  Beginning April 13, volunteers will be selling raffle tickets (only $1 each; 6 for $5) with the winning ticket being drawn at the end of the Kernels’ 2012 season.  The Building Pros commitment to community and especially children has led to this extensive community project. The Kernels organization encourage all members of the community to book a family or group outing at the ball park, and to purchase a few (or a lot) of raffle tickets for a chance to win this fantastic copper clad roofed playhouse -- a play house sure to delight children or grandchildren alike.  All proceeds of the raffle sales will benefit Four Oaks.
