SEIU and The Obamas (Both) in North Carolina
Romanticpoet's Weblog ^ | April 25, 2010 | Romanticpoet's Weblog

In a shot across the bow of Dems, the labor powerhouse SEIU is starting a new third party in North Carolina that hopes to field its own slate of candidates, part of an effort to make the Democratic Party more reliable on issues important to labor, I’m told.

SEIU officials setting up the new party, called North Carolina First, are currently on the ground collecting signatures to qualify as a state party, SEIU officials tell me, adding that there are around 100 canvassers on the ground right now.The goal: To have the party up and running so candidates can run in this fall’s elections.

One could garner the idea that this is just a coincidence.

..Is SEIU in North Carolina trying to establish a “Working Families Party” (WFP).

Will “Fusion” voting be next if this succeeds?

Did the Obamas go to North Carolina under the guise of getting BBQ or to check up on the viability of this third party?

Don’t think for a MINUTE that since Andy Stern resigned as President of the SEIU that he will be going away…….

Remember Obama stating he “doesn’t do anything without consulting the SEIU”

IF this third party comes to fruition; will it be the SOUTHERN headquarters of Obama’s re-election bid?

=============================

NOT RACIST. NOT VIOLENT. JUST NO LONGER SILENT.

Asheville is also home to a large climate data center. Cap and trade bill agenda is being pushed to advance.

--Skeptical climate researchers have discovered extensive manipulation of the data within the U.S. Government's two primary climate centers: the National Climate Data Center (NCDC) in Asheville, North Carolina and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) at Columbia University in New York City.

--These centers are being accused of creating a strong bias toward warmer temperatures through a system that dramatically trimmed the number and cherry-picked the locations of weather observation stations they use to produce the data set on which temperature record reports are based.

Obama should be more concerned with staying out of prison than getting re-elected.

That explains the “middle class” vacation. Has the WH agreed to publish a “vacation” visitors’ list?

There seems to always be a hidden agenda or another reason behind what the MSM paints.

Does SEIU receive taxpayer money to do what ever work that they do? Isn’t it against policy to give taxpayer money to groups that are partisan?

I know - stupid questions deserve stupid answers, but......

So is this the 401k/IRA confiscation conference?

Exactly and that's why I'm going to reserve cheering for the SEIU splitting the vote. I really doubt that's how it will play out.

Also, I have learned always to look for the hidden agenda behind BHO vacations. This was so obvious, but the location of Stern & the SEIU third party had completely slipped my mind.

Sounds like a family reunion. They’d have a potluck dinner, but when they do everybody always brings the same teat.

About 30 years ago I was at a meeting that included the president of the ND AFL-CIO. He was asked why the labor movement supported mostly Demorats. I have never forgotten his response “Because we don’t have a Labor Party in the United States.”

Maybe this is beginning of one.

There will not be a RAT candidate in local & State elections where the SEIU fronts a nominee.

This effort will not be National - just a tactic to fudge precinct polling numbers in 2012.

It's far too early for that. Even though the traitors in the White House see that as an important part of their agenda to destroy capitalism in America, other items have to be accomplished first.

Amnesty is one of the items at the top of the list. By making millions of now illegals in the United States voting citizens, two major things will be accomplished:

1. Enough illegal aliens will be given the right to vote and with election fraud and these extra Deomcrat votes the Tea Party movement can be neutered which will ensure the people's candidates can be ensured election to continue the silent revolution

2. The excuse for martial law will finally happen, we have to have these elections, Federal Forces (a strong civilian force, just as well funded, just as well trained) will open up the election process and SIEU among others will make sure the right people vote. Arrests will expose the TEA PARTY extremists for what they are.

Another important item is CAP AND TRADE. To destroy Capitalism forever, we will use the vast sums of $$ to weaken the Americans so that they just worry about being able to stay warm in the winter. Wait until the fools see their electric bills double and triple and their capitalistic employers force to lay off even more of these enemies of the new state.

Things are going well according to Obama. The idiots in the press are still trying to figure out if healthcare is too socialist for America. Useful idiots just doesn't describe how important the presstitutes have been in the silent coup going on right in front of them.

After the next election, then they can take your 401K/IRA. You won't dare to utter a sound of protest.

So union dues now become political party contributions, and therefore the first $50 become eligible as a tax credit.

Seems like there are some serious legal lines being crossed here.

There are very very big things that happen in Asheville and WNC. I have been observing things for over 35 years. Meetings of one worlders. People like Prince Charles and his well known buddies.
I have been trying to figure out Obamas tie to Asheville. I can now see the pattern of what I suspected. By the way I am a just a house wife that no one listens to.

Interesting, are the economy and jobs locally tied to global warming issues?

It will be interesting to see whether they get the ~70,000 signatures they need. Under N.C. law, for a party's candidates to appear on the ballot, a party either needs 1) to have had its gubernatorial candidate receive at least 2% of the vote in the last governors' election, or 2) obtain the signatures of 2% of voters who actually voted in the last N.C. gubernatorial election. Just any voters will not do, I am sure a number of the 4.2 million voters from the last governor's election have since either died, left the state, or lost their eligibility due to a felony conviction.

The Libertarian and Green Parties have challenged this law as violative of the N.C. Constitution. They lost at the trial court and 2-1 at the Court of Appeals. The case, Libertarian Party of North Carolina, et al v. State, et al is at the N.C. Supreme Court now.
