Theyve dumped nearly a $1 million of rank-and-file dues into Martha Antoinette Coakleys coffers.
They pulled out all the stops before the primary and theyll be throwing all their ground troops into the Bay State over the weekend.
We know how the SEIU thugs operate. I told you in Culture of Corruption about Andy Sterns organizational motto: [W]e prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesnt work we use the persuasion of power.
Theyll go after Boy Scouts.
And baby-sitters.
And home health-care providers.
They raided their treasury to pour $60-$80 million into Obama and the Democrats 2008 campaigns.
Theyre not about to roll over and play nice while their 60-vote supermajority slips away.
Hotline On Call reports on the SEIUs mobilization this weekend. Where are the counterforces?
SEIU has stepped up its involvement in MA in the waning days of the race, sending hundreds of volunteers and hundreds of thousands of dollars to the state on behalf of AG Martha Coakley (D).
The union, one of the most powerful arrows in the Dem quiver, is spending $685K on TV ads touting Coakley and slamming state Sen. Scott Brown (R), and a spokesperson for SEIU says it will have 300 volunteers on the ground on Tuesday.
The heightened activity has some GOPers on edge, and at least one group is worried SEIU could be taking over for ACORN as a top organizational tool benefiting Dem candidates.
This whole thing is turnout, and this looks like the place the SEIU-ACORN folks turn on the turnout machine. They did it in Minnesota, successfully, said David Norcross, chair of the Republican National Lawyers Association.
The RNLA will send its own volunteers to MA for Election Day, with plans to monitor polling places to prevent any fraud. The group got a tip that SEIU-sponsored buses would be taking voters to the polls, Norcross said. ***
Good idea for counterforces: The local police unions that spurned Coakley for Brown.
Lets hope the Eric Holder-approved New Black Panther Party thugs arent on those SEIU buses.
Speaking of the New Black Panthers, Main Justice spotlights Malik Shabazzs latest racist rant.
Im surprised he hasnt received an Obama czar appointment yet.
Good for you. So far, all this bullying has resulted in a few dust-ups and some bad press. But one of these days, one of these thugs is going to rough up the wrong guy—or gal. Best to have it all documented when that time comes.
Great! Sometimes all it takes is alittle prodding—at least, that’s what I’ve found with my own friends and family.
True. There are only so many charter busses and dead people in the Northeast.
