ALERT!!!!
FLORIDA ALLIANCE FOR RETIRED
AMERICANS
CONGRESSIONAL TOWN HALL
MEETING!!!
TO: Local Union Presidents, Business Managers and Political
Coordinators
FR: Fred Frost, President, South Florida AFL-CIO
RE: We Need Help Making Sure Union Retirees Are Secure at
Their Annual Event and Their Voices are Heard at
Congressional Town Hall Meeting
On Thursday, August 20th, The Florida Alliance for Retired Americans
(FLARA) will be holding their 5th Annual Town Hall Meeting on Health
Care Reform with members of t he South Florida Congressional
Delegation. FLARA is retiree the affiliate of the National AFL-CIO and
most local unions across the State of Florida are affiliated with FLARA.

As you know, across the country town hall meetings on health care reform
have been disrupted, dismantled and have turned into fiascos as a result of
the right-wing tea party goers. The FLARA town hall meeting holds this
annual meeting for THEIR OWN MEMBERS–OUR LOCAL UNION
RETIREES, and this year will be no different! THIS IS NOT A
PUBLIC MEETING and TICKETS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND.
500 Tickets (room capacity) have already been distributed by FLARA to
their members. However, news reports have indicated that this forum is
open to the public, therefore, we need to ensure that FLARA members, our
retirees, are SAFE, SECURE and are able to attend this event, just like they
have in the past without FEAR, INTIMIDATION and not SUBJECTED TO
UNRULY Behavior. Please see attached article for what our retirees
will be encountering as they arrive for their own event.

WE NEED A HUGE TURNOUT FOR THIS


EVENT!!!!
