A reader passed along this email they say is from an SEIU Local 1199 operative asking if anyone wants to travel to Wisconsin to campaign for Barack Obama, starting tomorrow and going through Wednesday.
In the subject line it says “air, car, accomodations [sic] included”. The email goes on to say, “SEIU just officially endorsed and this request just came at us.”
An email to a spokeswoman for 1199 was not immediately returned.
Dept. of Strange Signs: Yes, that is a MikeBloomberg.com ad that popped into my Gmail account when I opened this message.
