November 2012 Presidential Election:
CAPE Endorsements
The CAPE Political Endorsement Committee works hard to make sure our association weighs in on the important legislative races and ballot measure contests.
Some of the measures and many of the candidates do not require much consideration. Voting NO on Proposition 32 seems obvious, but if you don't vote, your voice will not be heard.
The CAPE Board of Directors urges all of our members and their families to VOTE EARLY. If you are a permanent absentee voter, cast your ballot and return it as soon as possible. For everyone else, there is an absentee ballot request form on the back page of your ballot material pamphlet. Sign it, put a stamp on it and return it by mail to the LA County Registrar-Recorder, and your ballot will be received within days. Cast your votes, and return it immediately.
Vote early, to make sure your union vote counts.
CAPE's recommendations for the November Presidential Election:
YES on Proposition 30 – It’s a critical step in addressing the continual budget shortfalls that plague California and spill-over onto Los Angeles County.
NO on Proposition 32 – It’s a fraud and the ultimate one-two punch against union-represented workers! It would silence our voice and give even more power to corporate special interests to take-away our hard-earned rights and benefits.
