Below is the email that's bouncing all over SEIU this week to vote a Houston janitor leader as Glamor's Woman of the Year.

The least distasteful vote I'll get to cast all year, for sure! Jim -------------------

Don't know if you heard, but one of the janitor leaders here in Houston has been nominated for Glamour Magazine's Woman of the Year. Her name is Ercilia Sandoval. She is a janitor here in Houston - making $5.25 per hour with no health insurance. She came her from El Salvador and has two young girls - Jennifer and Genesis. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in the spring and could not get treatment or care because she did not have health insurance. Even as she goes through her chemo she is still fighting (and working, God bless her). She is a member of the bargaining committee and attends all the events even as her health worsens.

My special ask is that you vote for her for Woman Of The Year and ask your friends and family to do the same. Here is the link...

She is listed as Ercilia Sandoval - The Advocate. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <../attachments/20061016/49c7c4f9/attachment.htm>
