From today's Denver Post: "The Colorado AFL-CIO labor union organized a protest outside the Englewood campaign office of Rep. Bob Beauprez on Tuesday, part of its national "Who's on Our Side" campaign for the 2006 elections. Beauprez, a Republican candidate for governor in 2006, has not represented working families while in Washington and wouldn't as governor, either, said the 12 demonstrators who turned out.
"'We're losing our middle class in this country,' said Jody Weant, president of a local chapter of the Association of Flight Attendants. 'If we get Bob Beauprez as governor, we're not going to have any workers' protections in this state.'
"John Marshall, Beauprez's campaign spokesman, dismissed Tuesday's demonstration as the act of 'a desperate organization grasping at straws.' The AFL- CIO lost two member unions earlier this year."
