The time has come for all business people and their employees to "stand uP" and "be counted" or' find the industrY "r'ined out."

Millior.rs of dollars worth of school casework, Iaboratory furniture, and even millwork, each year is being shipped into California for use in our "taxsupported" schools and other State agencies, from States with much lower wage levels' We must protect California industrY and jobs.

We urge all California citizens, and particularly those directiy associated with the Wood industry, to write immediatelY to their State Senator and Assemblyman and urge their support on the following bills.

AB #2lllz This bill will make mandatory a l0/o bidding preference for California manufacturers.

Please send a copy of your letter to us so that we may know how many direct requests have gone to our lawmakers at Sacramento.
