“We were able to see the names and addresses of policy holders,”at the headquarters of the CUNA Mutual Insurance Society explainedRichard Rehberg, spokesman for the union's effort. “But we couldn'tcopy them all of them down so we were only able to contact about 5%of the policyholders with our arguments. There is no way you canwin an election reaching only 5% of the voters,” he said.
