Individual liberty anywhere is a threat to the Progressive-Collectivist Cause everywhere.
Socialist and fascist governments run America and Europe and they are falling further and further into the collectivist trap every day. Everyone wants to be rescued from their mistakes and that simply can’t happen. In the meantime to finance this illusion they both go deeper and deeper into debt.(from beforeitsnews.com)
(from redstate.com)Ever heard of the American Center for International Labor Solidarity?
Well, the ACILS is a cover from the AFL-CIO. Same group. Different name.
See, Congress can funnel money to the AFL-CIO through this front group and no one can attack the AFL-CIO because who the heck has ever heard of ACILS.
Well, the AFL-CIO is now endorsing health care deform despite the excise tax in the legislation that creates a HUGE tax burden on workers. In fact, the Machinists Union is wholly opposed to the health benefits tax.
Tom Buffenbarger, the Machinists’ union leader, is flat out at war over this provision and lots of union leaders are wondering why the heck the AFL-CIO decided to line up behind legislation that taxes union workers.
(from news.firedoglake.com)Labor unions are applying every ounce of pressure they have to get the final votes on the health care bill, focusing particularly on members who have said they would oppose the measure.
Yesterday, the AFL-CIO sent a letter to Mike Arcuri (D-NY) telling him they would not be able to support him if he voted against the bill. And Dr. Les Roberts, who ran against Arcuri in the primary in 2006, has already been approached as a primary challenger by leaders of the Working Families Party.
Today, the AFL-CIO sent a similiar letter to Stephen Lynch (D-MA), who emerged as a prominent No vote earlier this week.
The AFL-CIO and other labor unions are not the only ones talking about betrayal and primaries – Michael Moore has an open letter excoriating Bart Stupak for his hijacking of the health care debate, and endorses his primary challenger, Connie Saltonstall.
