  • While Others See Faults with Employee Free Choice Act, Jeff Merkley Blindly Supports It

    Posted on Oct 07, 2008 by Oregonians for Employee Freedom

    Even as newspapers and columnists around the country like the Sun Sentinel in Florida, the Washington Post in Washington D.C. and our own Oregonian deride the act, Jeff Merkley supports it. Even as bloggers, the new media for politics in the United States, point out the major flaws and hypocrisy with this grossly mis-named act, […]

  • Will Franken and Melendez Act Like Grown Ups and Debate?

    Posted on by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

    This ad challenging DFL Chairman Brian Melendez and Al Franken to, once and for all, debate us on EFCA, ran today in the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The continuing refusal of liberal supporters of EFCA to actually debate the issue stands in stark contrast to former Senator George McGovern’s courage on this issue.  Senator McGovern, a principled liberal, […]

  • Minnesota Dems are REALLY afraid to debate EFCA

    Posted on by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyB3bB0wQas[/youtube] For a guy who’s so confident when he’s calling us names and filing frivolous legal complaints, DFL Party Chairman Brian Melendez sure runs away fast when we ask him about his refusal to debate us on EFCA. I don’t know that I’ve seen a guy with not much to do run away so fast, […]

  • Lunsford’s “Special Interests”

    Posted on Oct 03, 2008 by Kentuckians for Employee Freedom

    Bruce Lunsford has spent most of this campaign accusing his opponent of being beholden to the “special interest” groups and supporting issues that are important to contributors. But what he has failed to realize is that he himself is beholden to one of the largest “special interest” groups in America today – labor unions. Here’s […]

  • Let the Spin Begin

    Posted on by Kentuckians for Employee Freedom

    On Monday United Mine Workers of America President Cecil Roberts will be in Kentucky to visit with his labor supporting crony Bruce Lunsford and foul-mouthed AFL-CIO labor boss Bill Londrigan. We can only imagine the spin these thugs will try to put on the labor’s agenda including the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). Labor has […]

  • Inquiring Chickens Want to Know, Will Brian Melendez Debate?

    Posted on Oct 01, 2008 by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0IZCiK8OOA[/youtube] Minnesota DFL Party Chairman Brian Melendez has called us names, filed a frivolous legal complaint, and done just about everything he can to avoid debating EFCA. Following up on our Minnesota State Fair Brian Melendez Cluck Like a Chicken Contest, we sent an appropriate representative to DFL Party Headquarters to issue Chairman Melendez another […]
