That’s scary. Did THIS UNION get bailout money from us?

Volunteer as a poll watcher, but report any violations to the Republican party.

"Did THIS UNION get bailout money from us?"

AFSCME and SEIU are BOTH continuously funded by YOU....if you are a taxpayer....as they are "government employees", aka, parasites who are earning by handing out tax money to pay their salaries and benefits AND to pay for the Union dues that are funneled then back to the DNC, to hire even MORE employees on the taxpayers' dime.....

The commie unions are in a real panic right now. If the TEA Party wins big tomorrow, their plan of using OUR 401Ks to bailout THEIR union pensions will be just another turd swirling in the bowl.

VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Desperate move, but Stoooopid. How many of their union members are going to be po’ed to vote for the other candidates?

I know a bit about human nature. Overtly you (if you are one of the members) can not do things to counter authorities, but people will find little ways to take their revenge to vent their spleen.

What I would LOVE to see happen, (but most likely never will) is the government disband all public sector unions. If you accept a job with any government entity you should forfeit your right to unionize.

Yeah I’m predicting civil war within the unions with union bosses being the primary targets.

Welcome to the new 0bama American Order, where Unions control people by force and intimidation.

And it eventually will all be paid for thru the taxes of those that they control.

In the ‘60s, unions ordered their people to vote for JFK, too. Nothing new. Despicable. Still, how STUPID are the union members who actually do it? Do they even realize that the ballots are... um... secret?

I would have been fired, beaten and burned at the stake because there is NO WAY I would suck up to Dems.

Push comes to shove, I would have quit my job.

These are our public “servants,” who are paid about twice as much as we are in salary and cushy benefits with money taken by force out of our paychecks.
This union should be banned, along with all government unions. Whoever heard of “servants” being unionized anyway?

Doesn’t seem like a very wise move for the rank and file to get involved like this.

Afterall, if they are career civil servants, don’t they want to maintain amicable relations with the political class, regardless of who wins the election?

I’ve always thought there was a lot to the Hatch Act, which minimizes political involvement of non-political appointees.

Years back, my local obtained the voter registration of all members. They hung it in the hall before every meeting, and helpfully highlighted the names of all members in good standing who were registered as Republican.

So much for that member in good standing thing.

Bunch of suck pump retards.

If this is accurate (and I’m not doubting it for a moment) it sure seems like there should be some kind of charges that an enterprising prosecutor could bring against these thugs. RICO, maybe?

I would think this is criminal. You can’t threaten someone to support a candidate they oppose.

So Patriots in 1776 left their families and their farms or businesses to fight for freedom knowing they could be killed in battle or hanged for treason if captured, and these union members are threatened with . . . GASP . . . losing their Election Day Holiday?????? Have we really fallen that far and become that soft?

It is already happening, just not in the public eye yet.
