Look Where The Country is Headed

Study: California Public Pensions Underfunded by Over $500B
The study examined:
The California Public Employees' Retirement System;
The California State Teachers' Retirement System; and
The University of California's retirement system (Walters, "Capitol Alert," Sacramento Bee, 4/5).

It's time we get rid of these public unions before they destroy the country. Why should we work to pay for their retirement?

Making the Hard Decisions

Elected officials need to make hard, and for some segments of the populace, unpopular decisions. Do Virginia's Senators have what it takes to save our future economy?

Senators seem skeptical about proposed pension changes

With Unions funding the democrat party, I don't have much hope unless " We the People" make them more afraid of losing their jobs then they are of losing union funding.

Are Unions Now Running America?

What the unions got for the $400 million they spent electing Barack Obama

Stimulus Bill :: AFL-CIO:
Trade War :: United Steelworkers
Killing School Choice :: Teachers Unions (NEA and AFT)
Nationalizing GM and Chrysler :: UAW
Cap-and-Trade :: National Farmers Unions
Health Care Reform :: SEIU
Employee Free Choice Act :: SEIU

Doug Ross ... Name an Obama policy position and I'm betting you'll find a union or ACORN (but I repeat myself) standing right behind it. Find a union and you'll find an Obama policy position. During his presidential oath, Obama swore to uphold the Constitution. I fear that he really meant the SEIU's constitution."

All of them are far left groups and unions. Will Republicans in office let the dems get away with this?

How about the Attorney General of the states? Will they sit back and allow far left groups and unions to collect personal information from the American People?

527 Organizations

What is a 527 Group?

These groups — organized under section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code — raise money for political activity such as voter mobilization and issue advocacy. As long as they stop short of expressly advocating the election or defeat of a specific federal candidate, 527 groups are not subject to contribution limits imposed by the Federal Elections Commission. 527s have become a convenient way for corporations, labor unions and special interests to flow unlimited contributions into the political process.

The 2009 Virginia elections are the first test of a state law aimed at bringing greater transparency to 527 activities in state politics.

Come on Virginians! Do you want UNIONS and out of State LAWYERS telling our elected officials how to govern Virginia?

It's NOT about HealthCare

IT'S ABOUT CREATING STRONGER UNIONS

from BIG GOVERNMENT

Among the SEIU sops in the bill are vast new funding mechanisms for home health care organizations. The union has focused on unionizing home health care workers and now the taxpayers will provide hundreds of millions each year to pay these new union members.
The bill also provides $10 billion in direct taxpayer subsidies to pay health care costs for retired union members. This foists the every increasing health care cost of no-longer productive members off on the treasury.

In addition, it sets up all sorts of government bodies to micro-manage the health care industry to the advantage of labor. These bodies will make regulations for the workplace, training and wage levels. They will also serve as “diversity panels” and will be empowered to seek appropriate participation in health care jobs for disadvantaged groups. Buried in Title II, Part 3, Subtitle D of the bill is the requirement that the HHS panel that will set standards for health care employment must have union (read SEIU, the biggest health industry union) representation.

The bill also ties big piles of grant money to unionization. In Title V, Subtitle D, which funds grants for nurse training, the bill limits eligibility for funding to employers that “provides wages and benefits to its nurses…that have been collectively bargain with a labor organization.”
These little set asides tucked away in the bill will strengthen SEIU’s hand by helping it unionize more of the health care workforce and provide billions in funding for those new union jobs. They also allow labor to infiltrate the regulatory process and push for further advantages.

The simple truth is that for the single biggest advocacy bloc pushing the health care bill, your health is the furthest thing from their mind. Their objective is to use the bill to make it easier to unionize health care workers, which certainly won’t enhance patient care, and to advance the larger goals of organized labor as a whole, and use the resulting debt from the administration to push through the noxious “card check” bill through despite public opposition.

Obama, King of the Universe !

CHANGE!

OBAMA to chair a Security Council meeting — and pander to rogue states.

from national review
A brutalized Iranian population, yearning for democracy, has repeatedly been met by nothing but sad faces from this administration. An Iranian president installed by treachery has been legitimized by American recognition of his government, a decision that has sidelined other eminently justifiable alternatives. The leaders of this state sponsor of terrorism aim to annihilate the Jewish state and are on the verge of acquiring the means to do so. But instead of making the isolation and delegitimation of Iran the top priority for America’s turn at the council presidency, the Obama administration has taken Iran off the table at precisely the time when top decision-makers will be present.

Even allied council members France and the United Kingdom are reported to be very unhappy with Obama’s no-names strategy for his September rollout.

Back from a few days off and ready to roll!

Where were the ID's of all the people that the dems bused in?
