Republicans: Speak Out Against Workers’ Comp Reform at Upcoming County Conventions

Workers’ compensation reform isn’t a Republican or Democrat issue. Opinion polling shows that voters in both parties are against capping  workers’ comp benefits and leaving disabled workers unprotected.

However, the insurance companies seem to think that with Republican leadership in the N.C. General Assembly, they’ll easily be able to pass this legislation.

We’d like to encourage all registered Republicans to attend the upcoming GOP party county conventions to speak out against workers’ comp reform. Elected officials need to know that Republican voters don’t support this insurance industry bailout that would severely limit workers’ rights. Elected officials need to hear that their constituents expect them to Protect N.C. Workers.

If you live in Forsyth County, please attend the Forsyth County Republican Convention and precinct meeting TODAY.

Saturday, March 5, 2011

1300 Bolton Street,

The Guilford County Republican Party has its convention scheduled for 7 p.m. March 14 at Vandalia Christian School Auditorium, 319 Pleasant Garden Road. The convention is open to credentialed delegates only.
