• Why so shy? Senator Landrieu dodging all spontaneous questions

  Posted on Jul 21, 2008 by Louisianians for Employee Freedom

  After seeing activists protest against her sponsorship of the Employee Free Choice Act, Senator Mary Landrieu has interestingly shunned all regular constituents from asking her questions.  Because of her high seat vulnerability, she and her advisers are dodging questions about the controversial card check issue at all costs. She avoids these EFCA activists like Pestilence. […]

  Posted on Jul 18, 2008 by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

  Today Minnesotans for Employee Freedom (MEF) challenged Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party Chairman Brian Melendez to a debate over “card-check,” an issue that has played a large role in Minnesota’s United States Senate campaign. MEF, a grass-roots coalition dedicated to protecting Minnesotans’ right to vote on the job, has been running ads in the state highlighting Senator […]

• Jeff Merkley….Wrong Again

  Posted on by Oregonians for Employee Freedom

  Jeff Merkley has a hard time with the truth. In a classic case of “Do as I say and not as I do”, Jeff Merkley’s campaign was busted for having a tracker lie about who they were during the Primary race with Steve Novick. Ironic, since the Merkley campaign had taken the NRSC to task […]

  Posted on Jul 17, 2008 by Coloradans for Employee Freedom

  [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urMqsgABzmQ[/youtube] Coloradans for Employee Freedom caught up with Congressman Mark Udall recently to ask his exact opinion on removing the private ballot from union organization elections.  When asked, he claims that he doesn’t know what our concerned citizen is talking about.  We know this to be false, as Udall not only voted for the Employee Free […]

• Franken’s Enablers Stumble Into the Truth

  Posted on by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

  [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIZZizd96_c[/youtube] One of the lefty blogs that spends its time rationalizing Al Franken’s bizarre behavior and issue positions, has actually stumbled into the truth. In their effort to pick up on Franken and the Democratic Party claim that we and Senator Coleman are “lying” about EFCA, they capture Norm giving a spot-on, darn-near-perfect description of EFCA and the […]

  [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nvJIWnsM1Y[/youtube] Earlier this week, a crucial debate took place between candidates for Colorado’s empty Senate seat, and Coloradans for Employee Freedom were in attendance. They were there to protest Congressman Mark Udall and his support for the Employee Free Choice Act and big labor interests. Parodying the classic children’s book, “Where’s Waldo”, they were asking […]

• Chellie Pingree admits her support for public ballots

  Posted on by Mainers for Employee Freedom

  [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDgd3JcdUCU[/youtube] Chellie Pingree, Maine’s 1st district Congressional candidate, makes no secret she supports the Employee “Free Choice” Act. It is always easier to say you support something without letting your constituents know what the bill will actually do. The Employee “Free Choice” Act will take away a worker’s right to a private ballot, but Chellie […]

• Al Franken and the Truth are Often Strangers

  Posted on by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

  The late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Democrat Senator from New York, had a terrific line that has been often repeated in policy debates: “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.” Such is the case with Al Franken and his characterization of EFCA.  In response to recent advertising by us and other […]
