AFGE's Political Activity

I agree with letting elected officials hear about the shortcomings of the Screening Partnership Program. And, you probably won't be suprised to hear, so does the AFGE. The AFGE currently has a petition on their website, and they are planning to hand deliver it on Capitol Hill (see www.tsaunion.net).

I'm curious to see who they'll present it to. After all, the President has delivered on his promise to give them a vote, and he can go back to being SEIU's organizer in chief now. Will any politician have the backbone to advocate for TSO's even if they understand President Obama is not really on board? If it's a Democratic Congressman, it's just for show (with Republicans in the majority in that chamber). But if it's a Senator, that would be impressive.
