This week, Democrat attempts to stifle debate on EFCA were tossed out of court, and put back in the court of public opinion where they belong. King Banaian, Chairman of the Minnesotans for Employee Freedom Steering Committee, has this excellent post on the situation. King was actually named in the petty, whining complaint by DFL […]

They should neither accept anything nor pursue any activity that might compromise or seem to compromise their […]

[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 […]

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 […]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8OBPmJrD7w[/youtube] Democrat Congressional Candidate Elwyn TInklenberg turned his back on us, just as he has turned his back on Minnesota workers with his support for EFCA, when we tried to get him to explain his support for this misguided legislation. Sauntering along at FarmFest, he seemed in no particular hurry, yet he had no time […]

This article on the Power Line blog gives an excellent overview on the stakes over EFCA and all the stops the unions will be pulling out to make sure their legislation is enacted into law. Power Line is 2/3 Minnesota-written, so it is with appropriate local pride that we commend it to your attention. They […]

In the through-the-looking-glass world of Al Franken, taking away the guarantee of a private ballot to Minnesota workers actually gives them MORE privacy. Huh, you say? Well, according to funny man Franken, in receiving the endorsement of the Minnesota Building and Construction Trades Council, by our count the 22nd union to endorse Franken, worker privacy would […]
