Wow! What a towering intellect! All of those years that Special Ed spent on the short bus are finally paying off.

Ed Ed Ed... You still don't get it. De-funding is only step one. Then we are going to destroy the remnants. Then we are going to repair the damage you've done. Then we are going to celebrate.

New Hampshire House Passes Right-to-Work Measure, Governor Promises Veto

On Tuesday afternoon, the GOP-led House in New Hampshire voted 221-131 to make the Granite State the 23rd state in the nation to outlaw unions’ ability to have workers fired for not paying union dues. The bill to make New Hampshire a Right-to-Work state now moves to the New Hampshire Senate where Republicans enjoy a 19-5 majority. However, before the bill become law it must be signed by the Democratic Governor, John Lynch, who has said he would veto it.

According to Republican Steve Vaillancourt, overriding Democrat Lynch’s expected veto is possible, but it may be difficult:

House Bill 474, better known as the Right To Work bill (”relative to freedom of choice on whether to join a labor union”), will pass the New Hampshire House overwhelmingly this week (either late Tuesday or early Wednesday), but the number to watch is 31.

That’s the number of Republicans who could vote against the bill, and it would still survive Governor John Lynch’s promised veto when it comes back later in the spring.

Here’s how it works, and these numbers are based on all Reps being present for a given vote (something that never happens, of course). With Republican in control 297-102, if 31 Republicans joined all Democrats in voting against the bill, the margin would be 266-133, exactly enough to override a veto. Bearing in mind that Tuesday’s vote was 221-131, according to Vaillancourt’s comments above, overriding a gubernatorial veto is readily within the GOP’s grasp.

Might be the first time (and only time) ever that I’ll say this: I hope idiot Ed Schultz is right.

As you know TN has reaped many a jobs from bloated union ideology. The folks here in the mid-state have been quite prosperous. The salaries are just as good as anywhere if you have the background for it.

So he’s admitting that the Democrats used the government to fund the progressive movement?

If slapping their hands as they try to pick my pocket amounts to de-funding their movement ... then H*LL YEAH!

17-18 States depending on the outcome in NH to go, and work on eliminating the Unions from the Federal Government, defunding those departments with bureaucracies filled to the brim with entrenched Socialist participants, and we are on our way to a much better future.

Thanks Rome 2000 for your response.

( * Ed Schultz just said that "the Republicans are trying to DEFUND the progressive movement * )

Hey Ed ? why is that such a bad idea ? since most of the money that the left gets is tax payer money.

The Wagner Act is communism pure and simple, and will be reversed one state at at time in the remaining free states, and on a national basis when the marxist majority is purged in DC.
