EMPOWERMENT SLATE LIMPS TO THE FINISH LINE

Broken and defeated by three years of incompetent management of Local 631, John Phillipenas and the Empowerment Slate face the very real prospect of finishing third in the upcoming ballot count. We hear Phillipenas will not leave his office and spends his days shouting out orders to Kermit, Donny and Johhny to collect ballots from phantom supporters, much like Hitler from the bunker ordering nonexistent divisions to counter-attack the Red Army outside Berlin. Vote the Restore the Pride Slate and end the reign of terror of Phillipenas.

JUST TAKE YOUR MEDICATION JOHN IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE! ----THE CHRISTMAS SONG

 We hear John Phillipenas was so livid that his effort to deprive the membership of their federally protected right to freely and fairly elect the leadership of Local 631, was derailed by the election protest filed by Tommy Blitsch, which then resulted in IBT General President James Hoffa ordering new ballot packages be mailed to the  entire membership, that upon learning of the decision by Hoffa, an enraged Phillipenas spent thirty minutes red faced and screaming obscenities.. .  Just imagine Phillipenas on December 23rd after the ballots are counted and he is involuntarily retired by the membership.  A warm thought for a cold December night for the 6,000 members  of Local 631.

THE CHRISTMAS SONG

(PHILLIPENAS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE)

Phillipenas roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on his balls, 

The FBI planted the hall with a wire,
And Chilla dressed Donny and Kermit up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows John wants to kiss Patrick under some mistletoe,
 Voting out the Empowerment Slate will help to make the season bright.
Phillipenas and his tiny brained Business Agents with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that new ballots are on the way:; 

No more member paid for toys and goodies on the sleigh

Every BA is going to cry,

Cause our ballots really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

For members from one to ninety two, 

Although its Its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you

SEEN CAMPAIGNING AT CONVENTIONS

A smiling Phillipenas greeted members.

Johnny bought a pretty new dress for campaigning.

Chilla dressed Donny for campaigning.

KERMIT WILLIAMS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL

Kermit Williams photographed campaigning at Republic Services on Friday. We hear Kermit was glad handing and passing out cans of his popular beverage "Pimp Juice" to all three members that agreed to talk to him. You go girl BFF!

PHILLIPENAS BLITSCH SLAPPED BY HOFFA

General President Hoffa acted forcefully last week to insure a fair election at Local 631. Based on the election protest filed by Secretary-Treasurer candidate Tommy Blitsch, Hoffa ordered fumbling, stumbling, bumbling and generally incompetent John Phillipenas to immediately mail new ballots to all members of Local 631 or face the immediate imposition of a trusteeship to protect a fair election.

 General President Hoffa was forced to take decisive action because Phillipenas and his high priced inside and outside legal counsel failed to take two minutes to view the envelope for the ballot return package to ascertain if it contained return postage. None of the almost 6,000 envelopes contained postage as required by the election rules. Phillipenas refused to have the ballots mailed with proper postage affixed until ordered by Hoffa. Everyone should expect Phillipenas to use every dirty trick possible to suppress the ability of members to vote him and his entire slate out of office.

We hear Phillipenas, Weimer and Williams are so convinced that the membership will not return them to office that they recently filed an election protest requesting that the election be delayed. Mail your ballot brothers and sisters and send home Phillipenas and his crew of incompetent business agents!
