• Al Franken: Live From Minnesota, It’s Death to Democracy

  Posted on Sep 22, 2008 by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

  [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y20SKEd1kdI[/youtube] It’s getting stranger and stranger to chronicle our dealings with Al Franken.  One minute, according to Politico, he’s back writing skits for Saturday Night Live attacking John McCain; the next, he’s ducking us, or having his handlers run interference, on his support for EFCA and Death to Democracy. Then again, maybe the Grim Reaper stalking […]

• Paulsen-Madia II: Will Ashwin Dodge EFCA Again?

  Posted on Sep 16, 2008 by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

  Tonight, Ashwin Madia and Erik Paulsen will again debate in their bid to replace Jim Ramstad in Minnesota’s Third Congressional District. In their last debate, Madia was pinned down a bit more on his support for EFCA.  The nice thing about a debate: You can’t run away. Like Congressman Ramstad, Erik Paulsen opposes EFCA.  In fact, […]

• Wow: It’s Not Funny, Al

  Posted on Sep 12, 2008 by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

  [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC-rhSBgrsI[/youtube] Al Franken has a sick sense of humor; but we’re not talking about his “comedic” writings. When we caught up with Al again last week, he found it surprising and funny that Minnesotans would stand up for the basic democratic rights embodied in the private ballot. We realize that Al’s tens of thousands in special […]

• Coleman Calls on Franken to Repudiate EFCA

  Posted on Aug 27, 2008 by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

  Following on the heels of the Minneapolis Star Tribune’s editorial opposing EFCA, Senator Norm Coleman’s campaign called on Al Franken to “reject his position of supporting legislation that would steal workers’ rights to a secret ballot.” In a story first reported on the widely-read blog Minnesota Democrats Exposed, Coleman reminded Minnesotans of Franken’s past failures to pay for […]

• Some Common Sense in Minnesota

  Posted on by J. Justin Wilson

  Minnesota, for one reason or another, has quickly become the epicenter of the debate about the deceptively-named Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). Earlier this summer, the Minnesota Democratic Farmer Labor party (DFL) Chairman called us liars for suggesting that the bill would eliminate secret ballot elections in workplace unionization elections. We, in turn, challenged him […]

• Why Did Brian Melendez Cross The Road?

  Posted on Aug 26, 2008 by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

  [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPKIgL9BpdQ[/youtube] To avoid debating EFCA. As readers know, Minnesota DFL Party Chairman Brian Melendez responded to our invitation to debate EFCA with a frivolous legal complaint, one which was dismissed last week. In honor of Mr. Melendez’ refusal to debate the issue, or even respond to our invitation, we conducted the First Annual Brian Melendez […]

• John Kline REALLY Understands EFCA

  Posted on by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

  [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKO1ZEqgztM[/youtube] In another report from the Minnesota State Fair, we were able to secure a few minutes with Congressman John Kline from Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District.  As a member of the House Education and Labor Committee, Congressman Kline has an especially keen understanding of EFCA. In fact, Congressman Kline gives one of the best analyses […]

• Union Members Agree: Voting is THE Way to Go

  Posted on Aug 25, 2008 by Minnesotans for Employee Freedom

  [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhifvDkQy90[/youtube] The Minnesota State Fair, in addition to ranking as the nation’s 2nd largest, is a wonderful place for politics and policy issues.  There you find politicians away from the tight grasp of their handlers freely mixing with Minnesotans.  Additionally, dozens of groups are there to raise the profile of their issues. We used the opportunity to […]
