Did they do any kind of voting, or some way of polling members?
At least the FDNY and a number of NYPD unions have endorsed Bush. I love the symbolism in the "first responders" to the 9/11 attacks have full faith and trust in the man.
They saw things that even most survivors didn't see and they know how deadly serious this next election is -- and they trust George W. Bush.
If you go to FirefightersforBush.com you will see many letters written by real Firefighters stating that we had absolutely no input in Schaitbergers decision to back John Kerry. It was done by the Executive Board of the International.I know personally I heard nothing pertaining to this endorsement at any meetings I attended nor in any publications from the Union, until the decision was made.
