Rev. Jesse Jackson calls for a ‘major strike’ after Michigan right-to-work laws pass

On MSNBC this afternoon, Rev. Jesse Jackson called for workers across the nation to hold a major one day strike in protest of the new ‘right-to-work’ laws that passed in Michigan today.

“I never thought it would go this far north,” a disappointed Jackson said about the right-to-work movement. “And, yet, these workers in this state must fight back and draw a line in the sand.”

Jackson called for a “major strike,” and a “major march on Washington.”

“It’s time for a massive, dissident, direct action to bring about the ship in the flow of the wind,” he added.

Jesse Jackson’s constituents who voted for him would vote for a portable toilet, if it were painted black and had a D on the door.

Michigan voters elected all three branches of government to be Republican. Therefore, they must have a larger mandate to implement Republican policy in Michigan than even the Democrats claim to have in implementing Democrat/Marxist policy in Washington.

Why is Jesse so upset? He never worked a day in his life.

Jesse is the biggest union boss who exists. Just as with the union business managers, executive boards, and local officers, Jesse's income is dependent on the masses below him. Less peons, less income.......

Doesn’t Jesse have his own state or Chicago to pick on? Go away, JJ, Michigan is none of your business.

Wherever these laws have been passed, wages are lower, job opportunities are fewer...

...productivity and innovation are higher...

Jesse is the biggest union boss who exists.

Jesse asked the appliance store salesman:

Jesse: Are you unionized:
Sales: Nope, too busy makin' money to worry about it. But those are union washers.
Jesse: How can you tell that?
Sales: Every one's got a black agitator ---

democrats are such hypocrites.

they hate giving people a choice as to whether they want to be in a union or not, yet voter id that almost everyone has, is opressive and burdensome.

they don’t want workers to have a choice to not belong to a union, but the right of a woman to murder her unborn baby supposedly exists in the first amendment of imaginationland.

no choice for workers who don’t want their money going to a union that doesn’t represent their own beliefs and views, but they’ve just fine with union public school teachers choosing to send their own kids to private schools at higher rates than the general population, and greatly so in urban areas where the public schools are more’dangerous and the teaching quality sucks.

democrats are such hypocrites.

I agree BUT how is it that the masses don't see that they are hypocrites and still vote to return these socialists back into office?

Are the Republicans that weak that they can't bring out the truth? I think that it is time to take the gloves off and call a liar a liar. As in Detroit, if the SOB's want blood, then give them blood..... Theirs......
