Please if you can find the time come to the following Rally below, this is enough and we have to let the government know we mean business.
Thanks

AUPE President asks members and concerned citizens from across Alberta to take part in "Stop the Cuts" rally Nov. 7, 2009
AUPE President Guy Smith is encouraging members from every sector of the union and the public at large to take part in the "Stop the Cuts" rally at the Progressive Conservative Convention in Red Deer on November 7.
"It's time for all of us who are affected by cuts to public services to be seen and heard by the decision-makers in this province, and there's no better opportunity than the PC Convention in November," said Smith.
AUPE's Save Alberta Hospital Edmonton campaign will bring a significant presence to the rally, but Smith is asking anyone that is concerned about cuts to public services to bring their personal message to the rally.
The union has arranged buses in Edmonton and Calgary to provide transportation to and from the rally for anyone who wishes to attend, whether they are AUPE members or not.
The buses will leave at 9:30 a.m. and return by 4:00 p.m. Members will be picked up and dropped off at AUPE headquarters in Edmonton (10451 –170 Street) and near McMahon Stadium in Calgary (1833 Crowchild Trail).
The rally will begin with a gathering at the Kinsmen Community Hall (4726 – 34 Street) in Red Deer at 11:30 a.m. then participants will take part in a short march to the Progressive Conservative Convention at the Capri Centre.
Anyone who would like to take a bus from Calgary or Edmonton is asked to RSVP by phoning AUPE headquarters at one of the following numbers:
780-930-3300 or toll-free at 1-800-232-7284 (Press 1)
