The earliest date that one could turn in the signature sheets were late last week, as the window is open for some time yet to get the signatures into the camps.It's a long campaign yet and the use of the "battle pages" of our Teamster Magazine is a welcome site for all our Brothers and Sisters to view when the time comes.

Every Brother and Sister should download a sheet from http://www.fredgegare2011.com and get 13 others to fill it out to give the candidates the opportunity to express their platforms.

So that's a no?

Let's say that is correct, that's a no. In which I wouldn't know to be fact or fiction, let's explore a couple of items.

The process is open to all Teamsters for the benefit of the entire organization. It is not about who can get something done is the shortest amount of time, it is about building structure and support to have a core element to be there at the end. Take Nascar for an example, the development of strong teams can lead to an oversight within that structure that allows the competition to capitalize on flaws to overcome and be winners.

Or how about just because you are first in the buffet line doesn't mean you are getting the best cooked food.

Many Brothers and Sisters have signed both forms for each camp and donated monies in the same fashion.

Not time to be chesty yet. Alot of miles to be traveled yet.

Talk about an idiot. Gegare is a trustee for Central States and its in trouble he comes to Las Vegas and tries to kill the pension for our brothers and sisters in the Ready Mix Industry tryed to sell the a 401K instead. Hes a real asshole not a real Teamster. We need a general president that doesnt make back room deals and thats not Gegare. HE IS A SELL OUT.

I asked the question regarding the petitions because Gegare's site says they need to be recieved by June 30th but Hoffa's site says they can be recieved until July 15th.
