Quote Freely From The Article — Leave The Pseudonym Alone

Seems like there is no end to the bag of tricks Service Employees International Union (SEIU) have up their dirty, but mostly worthless, sleeves. Brian Johnson reporting on BigGovernment’s site reveals some interesting twists in language used by Andy Stern (possessor of frequent White House miles) and Anna Burger both of SEIU.

SEIU wants no mistakes made in the spewing of their propoganda, so they have manufactured “cheat sheets” for use by their organizers and goons buffoons. We wonder if Stern and Burger actually believe that American workers are this lacking in perception. You can read the article and see the cheat sheets if you click here. Interesting also, but I haven’t spent a lot of time sorting through the links or information, is this site and its many links.

The Democratic party in New Mexico, and indeed, its national component, has always enjoyed a cozy and fuzzy relationship with big labor and trial lawyers. There is a reason for these relationships and without going into detail, let’s just say it has to do with back-scratching. The politicians enjoy a chest full of dollars and the unions and trial lawyers gain legislation favorable to them. Here is a list of URLS showing four of New Mexico’s current congressional members and the Sector contributions they received in the 2008 election, along with the contributions received by their opponents:

• Ben Ray Lujan
• Martin Heinrich
• Harry Teague
• Tom Udall

The information immediately above and following is taken from the Center For Responsive Politics and lists contributions from several sectors. While SEIU  is not heavily connected for political contributions for all of our congressional members, Martin Heinrich received a contribution of SEIU funds, along with a substantial  funds coming from other labor organizations. The same holds true across the board with our other congressional members, with the exception of  SEIU contributions:

Historically, the financial sector has consistently been the biggest source of funds in U.S. elections. In 2002, financial interests gave $105 million to federal candidates. The sector includes banks, insurance companies, the real estate industry, accountants and other financial professionals. Lawyers & lobbyists were second with $72 million, followed closely by ideological groups at $71.6 million. The catch-all “miscellaneous business” category gave $63.4 million. Labor unions kicked in $55.4 million, giving 89.4% to Democrats.

The Center For Responsive Politics slays Democratic and Republican sacred cows, so have a look  …  everyone can dig down as far as desired.
