Why waste our time with this insipid list of supposedly labor-friendly candidates?
The Cal. Labor Fed and their local councils could just say: "vote for another sell-out democrat" and save time, space, and printing costs. The lack of courage by the union movement to go outside this elite circle of termed out poitical hacks who want to trade offices in Sacramento is a disgrace.
Jerry Brown is a failed mayor and conservative law and order sell-out. John Garamendi has done nothing as Insurance Commisioner, Cruz Bustedmonte is an incompetent buffoon. The labor movement is stuck in nuetral as a result of continuing to ally with these unimaginative, brain-dead politicians who side with the bosses and their republican bedmates over the interests of the working class.
Why bother? Overthrow the conservative union movement and build an independent Labor Party!
