I just got a broadcast email from Richard L. Trumka, AFL-CIO ( peoplepower@aflcio.org ) that said this:
"For many reasons, we are pledging to work with President Obama throughout the elections and in a second term. The bottom line is this: As president, Barack Obama has placed his faith in America’s working men and women to lead our country to economic recovery and our full potential. So we’re putting our faith in him."
My reply, along with UNSUBSCRIBE, was this:
"BUSHBAMA SIGNED NDAA 2012, HR 658 AND HR 347. SO GO FUCK YOURSELF."
Feel free to quote me...

Hate to go against our unions.We don't have much left,but you are correct.
NDAA 2012 Indefinite detention without trial: Section 1021
HR 658
some sort of airport law
allows surveillance drones in US skies
HR 347
further defines private government grounds in which "trespassers" can be arrested
When is Unions going to save up for there members cash for a future strike and quit trying to buy Politcos who screw them over
Good for you.
What are you going to do then? Vote for "None of the Above"? There is not a single candidate who would not have done the exact same thing. They are all the same.
"None of the Above" is my write in.
Division Troll.
Just what "division" are you referring to? OWS has no allegiance to any political party or any political candidate, and that includes Bushbama.
I think you could have skipped all the rhetoric, though, don't you?
HR347 is bullshit... how come there was little to no news about that one? Anyone else wanna move to Brazil sometimes?
Outstanding!
The OWS is owned by the SEIU, so in effect if you tell the AFL=CIO to fuck itself then you don't love OWS, which means your fucking human detritus.
I am part of the 99 percent, and I am NOT "owned by the SEIU".
Me neither....Do we get free cookies?
Now that I think about it, There isn't really anybody actually "owned" by SEIU, or anybody else for that matter.
Something to do with the civil war.
[Removed]
The SEIU and the AFL/CIO don't get along. Basically, none of the like the SEIU.
A large group of people worked very hard to research, draft and prepare those resolutions. I was told it would be a shame for after all that work for Obama not to sign them, and that the republicans made him do it.
How could I be so misinformed?
