Please help me completely cover my car with union bumper stickers for the 1st Labor Day Parade in Bethlehem, PA in 50 years. I am going to drive my "union-mobile" in the parade.
I am driving up from Maryland to be with my union brothers and sisters in Bethlehem, PA where I also broadcast my pro-labor Democratic Talk Radio show Thursday mornings on WGPA SUNNY 1100AM.
The goal is to completely cover both sides, the hood & the roof of my 1997 Ford Explorer. We are going to turn it into a rolling billboard for the union movement.
If you are close enough to the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, you are invited to personally apply stickers from your union to my vehicle the morning of the parade -and to march in the parade.
If not, you can mail them to me at 698 Old Baltimore Pike, Newark, Delaware 19702. My cell phone number is 443-907-2367.
Or drop them off at the USW Local 2599 Hall in Bethlehem, PA (53 East Lehigh Street).
Or at drop them at The Mailroom union print shop in Allentown, PA (1231 Airport Road).
Please get them to me by Saturday if you are not personally bringing them to the event on Labor Day.
I would love to have your local or international represented on my vehicle. All of the stickers will stay on the vehicle as long as it runs!
Thanks,
