Just thought I'd share what I wrote to my esteemed Republican Senator on the defeat of the Employee Free Choice Act:
Senator
I just wanted to congratulate you and your party for your BRILLIANT defeat of the EFCA. Framing the issue as one of democracy, rather than of the supposed "right" of workers to join unions more easily, was pure genius.
How you continue to protect the few (owners, corporatations) without letting the many know what is really going on is just...I'm speechless.
Bravo!
Respectfully submitted....
I really AM impressed with these guys. Can you only imagine the meeting that took place when they had to figure out how to spin their opposition to a law that would make it easier for workers to join unions? Without losing the votes of those same workers come election time? Brilliant indeed. Check out my link to the AFL-CIO for more info on the law. As someone who lived through the "campaign period" of a union organizing attempt, I can tell you first hand how this law would have been a godsend.
ah well....

I was just too sad about that - but knew it was coming. The bill was doomed from the start, unfortunately, but the word got out there.
Someday, justice will be served - but that's called total nova of the sun and I think we'll all be gone by then anyway...
