HOMEY D CLOWN ALSO PIMPIN' FOR DC
VOTE
An open and
unsolicited letter to the men and women of the Drivers club
from Phil Jacobs, candidate for the executive board.
I was
just alerted to the recent letter posted by Jeff Wiedner on
the web site, just got done reading it and I am extremely
disappointed, I have been a member of this club for some
time now, and I saw this letter by Jeff for what it is, A
cheap ploy to get some votes. It made me sick to think that
this could happen, and then I thought, HEY! THAT JUST MIGHT
WORK!-- But, I have never even seen Weidner on a bike, why
does he get ink on this website? So I called Hannes, and he
said "because he wrote a letter"
Well,
you may know I am up for the board on this election, and I'm
not going to go into detail here as to why you should vote
for me over those other guys, If you want to know where I
stand on the issues please call me. I'll be happy to talk to
you and listen to what your concerns are do what I can to
make this a better workplace by working to deal with safety
issues and the other things that we need to address as a
union and making your voice heard.
But because I have always thought of the Drivers Club as
being kinda like Switzerland, that is, politically
neutral. Seems like these are different times we are in now,
so I would like all of you to consider just one thing when
casting your ballot-- and that is I can (and
will) beat anyone currently serving on the board or seeking
office on a bike. And I don't care if we are
talking 5, 15, or 50 miles. I'll get it done and I have
the bikes to do it.
This is
my open challenge to the other candidates
seeking a seat on the board, A 12- mile Race this
Wednesday, rain or snow or shine at Petrifying Springs Park,
say about noon. What lies at stake? Union By-laws probably
prohibit this from deciding the election, but the
Constitution and charter of the Driver's Club probably
doesn't say that this wouldn't be a bad way of determining
it's endorsements.
I'll be
in the park at noon with my bike. If Weidner or anyone else
wants a piece of the action, I'm pretty sure we can arrange
a loaner bike.
Thanks
for your time. Please make every effort to make the union
meeting and vote !
Phil
