Teacher’s union members want Hillary endorsement withdrawn
New York Post ^ | July 16, 2015 | By Marisa Schultz

WASHINGTON — Furious American Federation of Teachers members are demanding the union withdraw its endorsement of Hillary Rodham Clinton, calling it premature and undemocratic.

“There was no internal discussion. Zero. Zip,” said Steve Conn, president of the Detroit Federation of Teachers. “This is wrong and something needs to be done.”

The 45-member AFT executive board voted Saturday to back Clinton despite an AFL-CIO request to wait until July when the presidential field is more set.

“This is wrong and something needs to be done.”

We know their 400 million will go Democrat in any case as a bribe to increase their salaries, benefits and retirement.

This union to me is the worst one using kids as pawns and teaching only leftisi big government views.

Ha haaaaa! You think your Union gives a flying fig what you think, teachers?

Haven't you figured out yet that you are nothing more than the drum of the DemocRAT/Union money laundering machine?

They haven’t had a chance yet to use their endorsement to extract promises of endless government goodies for union management!

This is just a formality, Hillary will cheerfully pledge our tax dollars towards whatever these thugs desire. It’s all a part of looking out for the little guy.

Saw some messages out on news sites. The teachers are FURIOUS over this, and are promising their support to Bernie.

The AFT membership would be happier supporting Bernie, no question about that, and one might suspect that’s why the national ‘leadership’ chose an early endorsement for Hillary.

Just one more way that Sanders is messing with Clinton’s “inevitable” nomination.

At this rate, instead of millions of disaffected Republicans staying home on election day, it just might be millions of angry Progressives instead.

The very thought of progressives staying home in ‘16, rather than voting for Hillary as the Dem nominee, warms my heart. However, the reality is that Ds are far more disciplined and, as much as they may not love Hillary, they will be convinced that whoever the R nominee is (it could be Jesus Christ), he’s evil and must be stopped at all costs.
