The new NAFTA is another corporate handout. It won't stem the outsourcing of good jobs or protect the rights of working people. Tell Congress the new NAFTA isn't good enough and to refuse to vote on it.

While Election Day did not bring us the victory we hoped for, I am grateful for the huge amount of support you all have given me through these past months. Seeing old friends and making new ones, and listening to the issues that Kentuckians were most passionate about has been a highlight of this campaign.
At the Trump Rally in Rupp Arena on Monday night, President Trump said of Gov. Matt Bevin, “he’s such a pain in the ass." Last night, Kentucky voters agreed and elected Andy Beshear instead.
In his victory speech Tuesday night, Gov.-elect Andy Beshear thanked "our union families that helped make this election happen."
"Andy and Jacqueline are incredibly grateful for all the hard work and support we received from our brothers and sisters in the labor movement," said Beshear-Coleman campaign spokesperson Sam Newton. "They were out on the doors, they were making phone calls, they were talking to their members."
Turns out, Kentucky voters weren’t swayed by Trump’s impassioned speech to come out and vote for his minion, Matt Bevin, just because it would personally help him out:
We thank Holly Erwin of Graves County for emailing us a copy of this letter she sent to James Comer, the First District’s Trump-hugging, union-busting congressman.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Thanks to Louisville-born Baltimorian Rev. John E. Roberts, an Atherton High grad, for emailing us this after Andy Beshear's victory last night. "The sun is shining a bit brighter today in our Old Kentucky Home!" he also emailed.
“Andy Beshear doesn’t share our Kentucky values,” said the one Matt Bevin campaign commercial that told the truth. Beshear’s values aren’t Bevin’s values.
Bevin’s values are Donald Trump’s values. “Even Trump couldn’t save Gov. Matt Bevin tonight,” said Democratic activist Daniel Hurt. Trump held a big rally for Bevin in Lexington Monday night.
Bevin-Trump values include shameless pandering to prejudice, notably nativism and religious bigotry. Governor-elect Andy Beshear’s values don’t.
