The Congress of the United States exercises constitutional power over the federal budget and makes our nation's laws, and the President administers the Government through these laws and develops public policy; and

The Presidential election along with 34 incumbent U.S. Senators (20 Democrats and 14 Republicans) and all seats including the newly reapportioned ones in the U.S. House of Representatives will be up for reelection in 1992.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:

That AFSCME members through their PEOPLE Program will continue their excellent political and fundraising work in order to support our friends and defeat our enemies and set a PEOPLE fundraising goal of at least $2.00 per member per year for the 1992 elections.
