CITIZENSHIP AND
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
is the work site political-legislative arm of the local union and is the
vital workplace political activator. While CAP priorities are developed
by Convention action - implemented by the National CAP department
through the regions and our network of CAP councils - the Citizenship
and Legislative Committee is the basic link with our members at work in
assisting the implementation of voter registration and get-out-the-vote
drives, dollar drives, letter writing campaigns, and publicizing the
issues and positions of public officials. They also encourage special
groups at the work site - youth, women, minorities - to become active.
