When I campaign for President, I pledge to return AT LEAST 90% of power back to the states. I’ll provide funding for interstate commerce and national military ONLY.
Thank you.
Hell nite in december..u watch
So the circus is in town until tomorrow?
In all this hubbub, the legislature is also to pass at least one gun freedom law as well.

Thank you both for the info.
WHOO-HOO! Right to Work passes in MI, to be on Gov’s desk by tomorrow!
Good news -— will lead to somebody spilling blood somewhere though.
After the protests, everyone will join hands and sing a rousing version of The Internationale, led by President Obama.
Crazed Union Member Screams At Camera ‘Leave Us Alone Or We’re Coming For You’
Yeah, the civility of the left is on full display.
Gonna be some heavy security in Ann Arbor for a while. Rick Snyder lives there.
Good thing they didn't pepper spray the guy next to him. Moore is always looking for his next meal and carries his own salt.
Frankly, it's the passive civility (read that as: 'respectful, law-abiding nature') of our side that has emboldened the Left to do everything they have to take away our rights, ignore the Constitution, and spend us into a government-bulging oblivion.
Was hoping to see some fire from our side to at the very least cut off the head of the snake in November. *sigh*

Looks like the typical union losers stereotype.
Grizzly, overweight, and full of themselves.
Union thugs can be counted on to be violent.
That's the Democrat's core constituency: violent thugs.
I would encourage you to follow up with your friend—Freeprland would love some pics of this fat@ss getting maced.
Forget the Feds. it’s the states where we can make things happen!
*************************
Agreed, but eventual and decisive confrontation between the states and the feds is inevitable.
I bet many haven't grown up much from High School....
High School gear heads are drinkers, not stoners.
Damn it, why should a worker be FREE TO CHOOSE whether he joins a union??? < \idiot union thug>
I can only imagine how mighty America will again become when every state tosses out the tyranny of unionism. Let freedom ring! Labor unions are the new slavemasters. The chokehold of Big Labor has destroyed town after town and region after region with oppressive regulations, archaic workrules and grossly-inflated wages.
Depends upon the school and the various strata of the teen sub-groups but point taken... But they still probably haven’t grown up...
“Lawsuits and recalls to follow.”
I wonder how much more they can pour into this state. Losing this bastion has really made them mad.
It also happened in Texas in 2003 over the vote to approve redistricting.

Then Segway Boy (as he’s known in Wisconsin) made the trip to Michigan? Great! Was he wearing his dress? This professional protest dingbat deserves to get a hoof or two upside his lice-ridden hippie head. Love it!
Today is a great day for conservative America. We must continue to bring the fight to the union thugs as they assault our conservative brothers and sisters like they did today when they ripped down the Americans for Prosperity tent.
Stossel is one of the Fox News commentators who has constantly attacked the unions, even going back to his ABC days.
The unions are liars and thugs, and always have been.
When Capone couldn’t profit off of bootlegging when prohibition was lifted, he shifted his focus to the unions.
They claim they are responsible for the 40 hr work week, but Henry Ford voluntarily implemented the 8 hr days in order to increase productivity and morale.
Unions were also responsible for the Occupy Wall Street fiasco according the Occupy Unmasked movie. The movie shows emails between union reps and the media in their attempt to manufacture the “spontaneous” event.
Democrats should get behind this freedom of choice initiative.
Unions have had their way for far too long. Keep the momentum going.
They are threatened with violence; therefore they HAVE to support them. Criminal behavior rules unions.
That is so very true. The early history of unionism in America is intertwined with international Marxism. Evil men such as Eugene V. Debs, Samuel Gompers and "Bill Bill" Haywood set the stage for the current flock of goons such as Richard Trumpka, Andrew Stern and the particularly despicable James Hoffa.
The whole premise of Big Labor is anti-freedom, opposing individual liberty and self-initiative. When unions gain power, entire communities and regions are destroyed. Witness what lies in the wake of what Big Labor has done to my hometown of Pittsburgh. Once the arsenal of the world with a vibrant industrial base, the tri-state region is but a shadow of what it was before the corrupt power of the UMW, USWA and other union rackets brought forth their maniacal devastation.
“Only 7% of Detroit 8th Graders Proficient in Reading...”
Anyone who can read can teach another person to read.
It is not difficult, unless the pupil has a serious mental problem.
I could teach those kids in ten minutes a day. What are there parents doing???????
Ha ha, I meant “their,” yes, I know my homonyms.
Perhaps the agenda IS illiteracy.
Change Michigan to blue on your map!
Didn't know that was available in 50 gallon drums...
the infowarrior
In this case, that's the right kind of blue. Let freedom ring! The modern day slavery of unionism is being crushed by Patriots who love liberty. If, let's say, California becomes Right to Work, can you imagine the reaction of the Big Labor racketeers?
If I remember correctly that plant was 7 miles from coke ovens to rolling mills along that big old river.Heck of a sight at night.
Can't get used to blue skies over P-Burgh.
Two questions:
1. Are they still making Iron City Beer?
Did they ever find the B-25 that had to pancake in the Mon after running out of gas?
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Is there a list of union companies to boycott? We already don’t by GM or other union car companies. But I want to know which other companies my family no longer needs to do business with. Thanks
“In a sane republic every red state, and some blue states, should be in a state of political mutiny right now. Governors should be holding meetings on fighting tyranny. States should form alliances etc.”
Very interesting that you mentioned states “forming alliances” between them.
Here’s another post in a different thread I put up today:
http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/2967638/posts?page=25#25
But this is BIG. This is a state that has been ruined by the unions finally stepping up and telling them NO. But the unions have seized a great deal of political power of late, despite their declining memberships. It will be interesting to see how the empire strikes back.
“In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as ‘right to work.’ It is a law to rob us of our civil rights and job rights. Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining by which unions have improved wages and working conditions of everyone. Wherever these laws have been passed, wages are lower, job opportunities are fewer and there are no civil rights. We do not intend to let them do this to us. We demand this fraud be stopped. Our weapon is our vote.”
— Martin Luther King, speaking about right-to-work laws in 1961.
Of course, among the last things that King did was lead a protest on behalf of union thugs in Memphis back in 1968. MLK, a Republican? Maybe. MLK, a Conservative. NO WAY! Is there any doubt that he'd be beside Michael Moore and other radical leftist goons in a show of "solidarity" today in Michigan?
As a lover of liberty, his holiday is one I have never and will never celebrate.
That explains why Obama inexplicably championed the obviously doomed-to-spiral-into-chaos-and-apathy OWS "movement."
In Occupy Unmasked, they discuss how Saul Alinsky got involved in the labor unions as well. They worked side by the side with communists, socialists, and anarchists and dumb college kids during Occupy Wall Street. One scene in Occupy Unmasked show the union lead the charge to Bank of America, and then stop and direct the college kids into the bank. The college kids all got arrested, while the union stooges stood outside. One of the college girls holding a union sign was asked what it meant, and she had no idea.
I watched the movie with my little brother, who didn’t really have an opinion on unions one way or another. He’s now vehemently against unions.
