Congratulations Sara Sanchez Mcbain and Eddie Mcbain!

Saturday, November 8, 2008

We had an exceptional meeting Sunday. Sarah Sanchez gave us a report of her discussions with the Sanchez sisters. Sarah had multiple opportunities to discuss our situation with the Congresswomen. They are going to discuss our issues with the New York Delegation and get the ball rolling here. We will make use of the winter slowdown to expand our readership and connect here and via email with everyone we need on our side. We will set up meetings and act as our own publicist to connect with the print media. Sarah is especially good with this and is very hands on and can do. We need to connect with the local politicos including America's Mayor and Mayor Bloomberg. Our next meeting should be on the sixteenth. We will send everyone an email. Also watch this site for updates. Thank You. The Wedding is still set for Thanksgiving!

Sarah Smiles Sanchez and the gang are back from the coast and Hawaii and have a lot to report. There will of course be a meeting Sunday. Attendence is mandatory. A very very important meeting. Thank you Wendi for doing such a good job. See everyone Sunday.

No meetings this week. There is a regular union meeting and the gang is not back from the coast. Hoping for next week. A few surprises in store. You are all doing a great job. WW

We regret to inform everyone that Sundays meeting is canceled because Sarah Smiles Sanchez family member was killed in a boating accident in California. Two of her relatives are California representatives, the Sanchez sisters. Their brother and his girl friend were killed when their boat crashed into a barge. I am of course going with her. Sally and Francis are going as well. Check out CBS news on the internet about the story. Will keep everyone posted about the next meeting. Have a safe Columbus day. Wendy Wilson is in charge in case and will keep in touch. She is a good kid. She bikes everywhere for union democracy.

Broadway Local One Returned has asked us to announce that they are back from tour and are ready to publish. Our best to you.

We had an great meeting today. With the exception of Sarah Barracuda nearly punching out, we wont say who, everything went smoothly. We took a vote to take a broad, strong approach to reverse the scam against us. Hell if they are going to be strong against us we must be strong against them.

The committee was given broad based powers to do whatever is legally necessary to end the bullshit. We voted to notify the independent contractors, including the archdiocese, and the Tribeca Film Festival and all vendors.

We voted to act as our own publicist and contact and engage the print media. We voted to notify the other locals and let them know what is going on.

One of our members came forward and let the meeting know that one of his relatives is a district attorney.

Another member came forward to let us know that one of his relatives is a retired law officer of rank and a graduate of the FBI Academy.

Another member came forward to let the membership know that one of his relatives is a film, theater and television producer and has on his staff a trans global entertainment powerhouse law firm that will make that underachieving cub scout spivak look exactly like the under achieving cub scout he is.

Let the fun begin.

WE MUST REPORT THAT A NEAR RIOT ENSUED SUNDAY WHEN THE MORE RADICAL AND THE MORE CONSERVATIVE ELEMENTS COLLIDED ON THE DIRECTION WE SHOULD BE TAKING. THE RADICAL GROUP IS WINING AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A MEETING UNTIL AFTER LABOR DAY TO ALLOW THINGS TO CALM DOWN. NO MESSING WITH THAT SARA. WHAT AN ASS KICKER!
