2. Yes, if we throw out all the Republicans, the NJ Dems will feel empowered to sell out directly...

to the big money special interests.

7. Way Too Many Union Members Vote Republican, Too

Unions used to be the Democratic base, back in the day, but they have not been reliable Democratic voters ever since Reagan.

Reagan won with a lot of union votes. Even after he screwed PATCO, they voted for him again.

Neither unions nor the Democratic party have ever really recovered.

4. if you are in NJ, get to the statehouse on Thursday

The union busting bill passed the Senate with the help of Steve Sweeney, a union ironworker himself.

Let's hope we can kill this in the assembly.

6. Duh

every state that went for Obama in 2008 is under siege, and the attackers are winning handily. Maybe we should sign a petition! :rofl:
