HD Call between Arturo S. Rodriguez UFW President and Governor Brown as SB 104 is vetoed

UFW members, supporters and many state lawmakers gathered outside of Governor Jerry Brown's office calling for the Governor to come out of his office as the call between Arturo S. Rodriguez UFW President and Governor Brown transpired. Apparently the Governor was saying that he was considering vetoing it as his office was releasing the news that he had already vetoed it. This misrepresentation of his position after all the work that many in the orginization had put into the Governors election left many farm workers feeling abandon. One person reportedly left his Brown campaign button on the large brass bear in front of the Governors office. Many good people had sacrificed so much in the last two weeks in an attempt to get SB 104 passed. These were family people that could not afford the time away from work, retired farm workers and elders that had marched in the early years when violence was common had all given what they could. There were no dry eyes in the halls that night. HDCall between Arturo S. Rodriguez UFW President and Governor Brown as SB 104 is vetoed

Such cowards, these politicians. Keep up your efforts, dear UFW. One day you will prevail. Here's praying it happens sooner rather than later.
