Michigan right-to-work protests expected today at Capitol

Personally, I think the teachers who left teaching in order to protest is an indicator of the values of many of those union members. I am not saying that union members do not care about people nor their work. What I am saying is that it was wrong for those teachers to abandon the purpose for their choosing the career of a teacher. Somethings are just wrong.

This is just ignorant. Do you even live in Michigan?? Do you have any proof of Soros activity in Michigan? They wanted to "get rid of right to work laws"? The republican governor and legislature pushed this "right to freeload" legislation!!! Do you even know what you're talking about?? The people of Michigan NEVER had an opportunity to speak out on this legislation. It was pushed through without ANY committee discussion or public input. By the admission of the governor, this legislation was done in retaliation for a ballot initiative to keep collective bargaining in Michigan's constitution. At least the supporters of that proposal had the guts to let the people decide. The republican cowards in the legislature of the State of Michigan wouldn't let the people decide, because they knew they would probably lose. Instead they made it law, and included an appropriation to make sure the people couldn't decide in a referendum. Typical of the beady eyed rats that they are.

I used to live in Michigan. Moved away to work. The people of Michigan did vote 52% - 47% for this legislation. I as an individual am well able to bargain with the folks I go to work for, I don't need a union to do that for me. I've done it for years now.

I can tell you the union ruined my senior year of high school in Michigan because my father was supervision in a union facility. We had 24 hour police protection. We had nine union folks get stuck in the ditch in front of our home when they came to harass my family. The night the nine got stuck in the ditch I went out and challenged them to get out and get what ya got coming, none of those big tough boys would get out of the car. I answered phone calls from these thugs and listened to how they were going to abuse my mother and my sisters, what they were going to do to my father. I would hear my sisters scream and drop the phone when these thugs called and threatened my family. Yeah big tough guys aren't they. They knew who I was but wouldn't identify themselves when they called and made their threats. My friends would have to follow me and the sheriff to my house after school so the sheriff wouldn't be responsible for the safety of my friends. I've worked side by side with union folks, they went on strike, I continued to work. When I was asked if I was walking out with them I asked if they were going to pay my bills. Guess what the answer was. I have a very good friend in the union. When I quoted scripture to him and explained how strong arm tactics is witchcraft he repented. Here's the question I pose to the union, if you're a christian, does your union out weigh the body of Christ. I haven't seen a union ever act civil when they felt threatened. I saw two union thugs mess with one man twice their age, they should be proud huh. I don't want to be a part of that, ever! Good for Michigan for passing this legislature. :twocents:

Here's some info on the THUGS

Going Bolshevik: Union Thuggery Run Amok

Editorial: Union Thuggery Run Amok

Investor’s Business Daily

March 24, 2011

Big Labor: Having lost its war on economics, the SEIU has declared war on the economy. Literally. One of its top minds was caught vowing to crash the stock market to redistribute wealth. Is this a union or a subversive group?

Six years ago, after breaking from the AFL-CIO, the Service Employees International Union was hailed as a new kind of organization, whose dynamic leader Andy Stern would make labor strong again. His union vowed to increase its “political muscle to pressure entrenched politicians who didn’t vote in the interests of their members,” wrote Matt Bai in his 2007 book, “The Argument.”

Today, it’s all over. One of the leading lights of SEIU-thought, Stephen Lerner, declared last week at Pace University: “Unions are almost dead. We cannot survive doing what we do.”

But that didn’t mean introspection, or renewed efforts to persuade the public. Union frustration, as Bai wrote, meant it was time to “blow the place up.”

Lerner has a “secret plan” scheduled for May to “destabilize” the U.S. economy to redistribute wealth.

“What does the other side fear most?” Lerner asked. “They fear disruption, they fear uncertainty.”

Here's another one:

Largest U.S. union behind Mideast riots?

Sordid ties to group targeting American ally fighting terrorism

Published: 08/08/2011 at 8:43 PM by Aaron Klein Email | Archive

The executive council of the AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest union, has praised the role workers and trade unions are playing in the revolutions sweeping the Middle East and North Africa.

How about this article:

EXPOSED! Obama Working To Spread Riots Across US

What on earth is a President of the United States doing actively supporting angry protest mobs in the United States? Silly me, but I thought that an elected President was supposed to be the President of all the people, and not just of the hard, far Left. Isn’t the President supposed to be neutral in matters like this and let the States work it out? So why, you ask, is Obama doing this? I will tell you why. Obama is supporting the hard, far Left in these uprisings because he is on a mission. A mission to bring down this country, overthrow the Constitution he was sworn to protect and replace it with Socialist anarchy. Obama is not a real President, he is the bought and paid for puppet of the Puppet Master, George Soros.

This is the change that Obama promised to bring to the United States - anarchy.

Change has come to America

The PRO-UNION riots are spreading now across the country because Obama and his team are fomenting and encouraging the rebellion. This is not a “grass-roots protest” for “teacher’s right’s”, this is the classic Civil Unrest that Obama learned at the feet of his fellow traitors like Bill Ayers, the Weather Underground, and Saul Alinsky. American people, and I will shout this from the housetops – WAKE UP! Your country is being taken from you by the traitor you elected as President. Obama is ENCOURAGING these riots, and helping them to spread. We are losing our country to the Socialist and New World Order forces that have besieged it.

Obama fanning the flames of riots

I have seen the enemy, and he is us.

“MADISON, WIS. – President Obama thrust himself and his political operation this week into Wisconsin’s broiling budget battle, mobilizing opposition Thursday to a Republican bill that would curb public-worker benefits and planning similar protests in other state capitals. Obama accused Scott Walker, the state’s new Republican governor, of unleashing an “assault” on unions in pushing emergency legislation that would change future collective-bargaining agreements that affect most public employees, including teachers.

The president’s political machine worked in close coordination Thursday with state and national union officials to get thousands of protesters to gather in Madison and to plan similar demonstrations in other state capitals. Their efforts began to spread, as thousands of labor supporters turned out for a hearing in Columbus, Ohio, to protest a measure from Gov. John Kasich ® that would cut collective-bargaining rights.

By the end of the day, Democratic Party officials were organizing additional demonstrations in Ohio and Indiana, where an effort is underway to trim benefits for public workers. Some union activists predicted similar protests in Missouri, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

House Speaker John A. Boehner (Ohio) issued a stern rebuke of the White House, calling on Obama to wave off his political operation and stop criticizing the governor. ”This is not the way you begin an ‘adult conversation’ in America about solutions to the fiscal challenges that are destroying jobs in our country,” Boehner said in a statement, alluding to the president’s call for civility in budget talks. “Rather than shouting down those in office who speak honestly about the challenges we face, the president and his advisers should lead.” source – Washington Post

The Obama Revolution

So for the first time since 1776, we have an American leader actively leading a rebellion against a country. Only this time the rebellion is against itself. NTEB has warned you since we started that Obama’s mission was to bring down this country from the inside, and that is exactly what he is doing. This is why America is not in bible prophecy, because at the time of the end we will not exist in any meaningful way, and certainly not as a Superpower. Obama, Soros and Company will see to that.

And the question I will leave you with is this – How does the Muslim Brotherhood figure into all this? You’re about to find out.

Civil unrest, george soros, obama, One World Government, puppet master, Riots, saul alinsky, weather underground, wisconsin ..., NOW MICHIGAN ! What's next!

Stay tuned.

UNIONS today have outlived their honesty and usefulness. It's time to diminish them and bring them back into line. You diminish the UNIONS and you have cut off obama's (marxists) main source of income and power!

I am also a fellow Michigander, and it's nice to read that there are others on the same page as myself on this issue.

Now let's work on getting the Lions a new coach!

My friend ever heard of moveon.org. This Soros marxist organization has backed every union rally/protest including this one. Just do your home work and don't rely on your marxists buddies for information. The unions have shot themselves in the foot again. This time the bleeding will continue.

Still waiting for you to do your homework and show proof that Soros was involved in this.

Well I do live in Mich.

#1 Only 1 out of every 5 people asked are for the unions.

#2 Only 16% of the jobs in Mich are union labor . They just happen to be big ones because that's where the money is for fat A$$ union bosses

#3 The Union boss`s brought this on themselves. The Gov of Mich made a deal with the unions prior to the election. That they (the unions) would forget about Proposal 2 which would actually change the state constitution in regards to collective bargaining and in return he would not pursue making Mich a right to work state. As usual with big union bosses they had no intentions of keeping their word and proposal 2 wound up on the ballot. It was voted down by we the people. The same way you the people voted in Mr Obama. Well since the union proved their word was crap. OUR Governor did exactly what he said he would do and brought Mich in as a Right to work state. Now all hells breaking loose cause sour grapes don't taste good.

and by the way the 10 cent nail story cannot be proved cause it was a metaphor which you obviously don't have the smarts to understand.

THE PEOPLE OF MICHIGAN HAS SPOKEN.

#1 "1/5 of people asked are for the unions". What study are you talking about? Please cite.

#2 Please cite your source for this.

#3 You have drank the Snyder Kool-Aid. What "deal" are you talking about? As for your "10 cent nail" story. Typical. Don't provide facts. Just metaphors to deceive. I have the "smarts" to understand that. That's why I asked for proof. I also have the "smarts" to write above a 5th grade level. That's why I find it interesting that no one has addressed any of the pertinent issues I have raised in this thread.

and get back to us....

Yeah, so I wasted 13 minutes of my life watching it. It might be compelling.......If it wasn't full of historical and factual inaccuracies, as well as outright lies. But as P.T. Barnum once said, "There's a sucker born every minute".

There is one fact that IS undeniable. The city of Detroit has had a Democrat mayor since the early 60's. The marxists are responsible for the city's deterioration and other cities just like it. Get your head out of the dark my friend.
