  • Jeff Merkley…Wrong AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN

    Posted on Aug 14, 2008 by Oregonians for Employee Freedom

    Even though Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Merkley has been told that “Death” or the Grim Reaper is not affiliated with the Gordon Smith campaign, he repeatedly and knowingly makes this false assertion to potential voters. In this clip, Mr. Merkley tries to tell people that the Grim Reaper is with an anti-union group, which […]

  • Al Franken Porks Out, Ducks Questions About The EFCA

    Posted on Aug 13, 2008 by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_tPX7VBVL4[/youtube] Last week at a huge agriculture get-together in MN known as Farmfest, Al Franken repeatedly ducked and dodged all questions about the Employee Free Choice Act. As recently as three weeks ago, Franken proudly proclaimed his support for EFCA, yet at Farmfest, he ducked the question twice. Franken had time to chow down on […]

  • Knock, Knock … I know you’re there … you better support EFCA

    Posted on Aug 12, 2008 by J. Justin Wilson

    This was sort of a random discovery, but I stumbled across this great photo of a UNITE HERE door knocker apparently peeking through the blinds of some poor person’s house during a “labor walk” for the deceptively-named Employee Free Choice Act. If this is the kind of respect the unions have for our privacy now, […]

  • Moose, Rocco, Help Ashwin With His EFCA Statement

    Posted on by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciLV1NXrYUI[/youtube] With apologies to Rodney Dangerfield and Caddyshack, the title of this post gets it right: Ashwin Madia’s union buddies clearly helped him get his answer “right” on EFCA.  Following Madia’s evasions and the embarrassing spectacle of him literally running away from us now making its way across the Internet, I’m sure Madia’s union sponsors were […]

  • Liberal newspaper whines on behalf of Lunsford

    Posted on by Kentuckians for Employee Freedom

    It is amazing how the Courier-Journal continues to stick up for Bruce Lunsford. But I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. They’ve been serving as a mouthpiece for his campaign for some time now. In an article yesterday, they criticized the Employee Freedom Action Committee for educating voters on an issue that is important to the […]

  • George McGovern on FOX News

  • Congressman Udall Pledges Continued Support For Unpopular Employee Free Choice Act

    Posted on Aug 11, 2008 by Coloradans for Employee Freedom

    The Employee Free Choice Act continues to gain attention in Colorado, with a new article over the weekend from the Denver Post discussing arch-liberal George McGovern’s opposition to the bill. If a lifelong proponent of organized labor like McGovern is against a bill supported by labor interests, it is surely bad for workers and should be in no danger […]

  • More EFCA Evasion From Ashwin Madia

    Posted on by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejgnZVVkxd0[/youtube] Workers have the right to organize any way they want to,” so says Congressional Candidate Ashwin Madia.  As a lawyer, albeit one who recently allowed his law license to lapse, Madia knows that isn’t the way the law works today, nor would it be under the EFCA bill he has promised to support.  Madia is well […]
