"The various billboards weren't just to make sure that everyone driving to the plant would see them but also so that everybody in town would see them," said Norquist.

One billboard linked the UAW to Democratic President Barack Obama, whose national approval ratings are dismally low, and another to the demise of auto hub Detroit, which filed the biggest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history last July.......................Smart move.

Patterson was one of the featured speakers at an anti-union town hall last July in Chattanooga. The event was organized by Mark West, head of the Chattanooga Tea Party, and his neighbor Don Jackson, former head of VW's Chattanooga plant.......................Tea Party helped defeat the Union goons...excellent news.

I haven’t followed this as much as I should have perhaps.

But maybe these workers are the “Free Agents” the Obamatron is referring to?

Imagine if romney would have done that instead of going around telling everyone what a nice guy zero was.

There were also a few editorials written by a UAW worker named Terry Bowman warning them against unionizing. (He’s considering a run for the John Dingell seat here in Michigan)

Did they forget to link the photos of the billboards or did I miss them?

It will be very interesting to see how the nobama bought-and-paid-for NRLB will twist this in favor of the UAW.

Whole lotta twistin’ goin’ on :)

Did the union and the owners work together to make the union win? Cannot the opponents do the same? Gad, they are so Evil.
