La Mesa-Foothills Democratic Club General Meeting

Award-winning labor activist Lorena Gonzalez will be speaking at the La Mesa Foothills Democratic Club's May 2nd General Meeting on labor's increasingly important role in the 2012 election. She will discuss how Citizen's United has pushed labor into an ever more important role for the Democratic Party in many races across the country. 

Ms Gonzalez will address San Diego Labor Council's strategy in the County and how it differs from previous years. The following will be discussed:

  • Is money the element that determines who will be elected in November?
  • Does Citizens United actually benefit labor campaign funding and reporting?
  • How are Republicans trying to weaken labor's role in political fund raising and influence?
