Chicago Mayor Emanuel - Settle the Teachers' Strike

Settle the strike by the Teachers union in the City of Chicago before the strike has repercussions in the Presidential election.

Why is this important?

While sympathizing with the financial state of the City of Chicago, now is not the time to turn the American Teachers Federation against the City of Chicago and the Democratic Party by association. Your failure to find a workable solution to the problems facing teachers in this economical environment is in complete contrast to the proposals and ideals set forth by the man you supported for President in 2008, President Barak Obama. I urge you to find a solution now before the strike by the ATF becomes yet another talking point for the Republican candidates that could possible cost this President re-election to office.
