American Solutions: (don't give them any traffic)
The top legislative priority for organized labor and their allies in Congress is the so-called Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), also known as "Card Check." EFCA is an enormous power grab by big labor bosses that would strip workers of their right to decide by private ballot whether to join a union, and their right to freely negotiate their contract. Instead, workers would be asked to publically sign cards in front of union organizers, potentially subjecting them to harassment or intimidation. EFCA is a threat to workers’ rights.
Our effort is not anti-union; our effort is anti-EFCA.
12 American Solutions for Job prosperity. I took a glance through it and from what I gather it's union busting, some talking points about pork, drill baby drill, and 8 different kinds of tax cuts for the rich. Fine. That's about what I would expect from Newt's group.
Newt's group. That's the part that gets to me. Why does Newt still get a group? Why do folks like he and Tom Delay get to be on the teevee without a permanent caption over their heads? Something like:
Newton Leroy Gingrich:
"Eighty-four ethics charges... Gingrich was sanctioned US$300,000.[26] "In my name and over my signature, inaccurate, incomplete and unreliable statements were given to the committee", stated Gingrich after he finally pled guilty in January of 1997.
Yes. I think that would do it. Something just like that.
That's what I call an American solution. Maybe we can get something like that written in to the Fairness Doctrine. Hear that Fox? Boo!
