Well that didn’t take long, did it?

After having their heads handed to them in town hall meetings all over the country, the “agents of change” have put out a plea for help to the chief lapdogs of beloved leader, the AFL-CIO.

Here is a link to the article that was posted on Drudgereport, that crashed the organisations servers almost instantly.  The website, People’s Weekly World, has this description on google.

” Newspaper of the Communist Party USA. Audio and text archives, action alerts, and related web links provided.”

Here are the opening paragraphs from the article.

“The AFL-CIO has called on its union affiliates to defend lawmakers’ health care reform Town Hall meetings from “Corporate…mob rule” in recent days.

AFL-CIO President John Sweeney sent out a memo this week outlining a blue-print for union members to counter the campaign of fear and intimidation in which hired thugs are infiltrating health care town hall meetings to heckle, disrupt and even physically assault health care reform advocates.

“We want your help to organize major unions to counter the right-wing ‘Tea Party Patriots’ who will try to disrupt those meetings as they’ve been trying to do to meetings for the last month,” Sweeney wrote, adding, “Remember the hooligans, many of them Republican Congressional staff, who harassed Florida vote counters in 2000? We can’t let it happen again.”

AFL-CIO Vice President Rich Trumka added his own angry blast. The thugs infiltrating the town hall meetings of U.S. Senators and Representatives during the current Congressional recess are “corporate-funded mobs…sent by their corporate lobbyist bankrollers to disrupt.” He added, “Mob rule is not democracy. We call on the insurance companies, the lobbyists, and the Republican leaders who are cheering them on to halt these ‘Brooks Brothers’ riots. Health care is a crucial issue and everyone, on all sides, has the right to be heard.””

What a load of crap. The pot calling the kettle black hardly describes this. Having been a union member at a couple different times in my life, (Teamsters, Amalgamated Meat Cutters) I feel that from my experience, that the union existed only to protect the most worthless of the workers, and it appeared that most of my dough went to keep my rep in gold chains and hammered to the eyeballs any time I ever saw him.

As I am writing this, I am seeing some footage of 3 SEIU members beating on a guy who was selling “Don’t Tread On Me” flags.

This, and what is above, is the response of those who see that the writing is on the wall, that the far-left policies that are trying to be implemented are doomed to failure. That whatever deals were made to the unions behind closed doors may well not move forward unless they continue to act like they have in the past, a bunch of thugs, busting heads, and trying to cram their agenda down the throats of the innocent.

Attend the town halls, ask the questions, hold their feet to the fire. Let them know that their very political lives are on the line.

Be careful out there.

Last night I listened in on Keith “hey someone pay my way to the haj” Ellison’s phone town hall meeting.

He parroted all the Dem talking points, talked up the preliminary CBO scoring as if it was real, until later in the meeting when he had to admit it was a preliminary scoring of the bill. For the sake of “transparency”, you know.

To the Congressman’s credit, when I hopped into the queue to ask a question, his staffer didn’t disqualify my question out of hand.

Ellison represents MN CD5, which covers much of Minneapolis proper, and some first ring suburbs, like mine. So he is not operating in enemy territory, if you know what I mean.

He had some seminar callers who wanted to know when we might expect a move to a single-payer system.

He was quick to assure the callers who questioned the need to take such drastic action, that they could keep their current heathcare, skirting the truth that they will make it nearly impossible for your employers to keep providing insurance for you.

The one guy who brought up the blatant unconstitutionality of imposing a requirement to purchase a product from the Government was told that everybody needed to buy healthcare to keep the pool large to spread the cost over a larger group of people. He neither addressed the real question, nor offered any explanation of why it is constitutional.

There was a pretty fair mix of pro and con questions, so the Congressman’s staff is to be commended.

Although I was not afforded the chance to ask my question, you could leave a message at the end of the call.

My message was this:

If you vote for this clearly unconstitutional bill, I will work tirelessly to make sure you are not returned to Washington.

Take it to the bank.
