Union thugs for Obama. Should your vote be private?
Video: Meet Union Boss Bill"Marc Ambinder notes that Bill is actually AFL-CIO boss Bill Londrigan of Kentucky. This confrontation took place over the summer. Note that Bill doesn’t have a problem with violence or the threat of violence in order to get what he wants."

Union bosses like Bill will have even more power if Barack Obama is president.

As an AMERICAN my vote is my SWORD and with it I can do my part to cut out the BullSh?t in our Government. If you think this problem is bad check out the latest news today concerning a News Reporter asking good old "Joe Biden" a tough question and see what happen to Her and the station she works for not to mention what happen to "Joe The Plumber" for just asking a REAL QUESTION. You need to ask yourself is this what we can expect from an Obama Administration??? -

Unions are the main reason so many factories have left this country, because of their Al Capone tactics. They are no more than legalized mafia, as far as I'm concerned. They say their concern is the workers, yet they are the ones getting rich. Then the factories shut down and go out of our country , because the demands are killing competition with other countries. It seems to me by them making it an open vote the Union will know who to put their thug pressure on and who to get rid of....speaking of the Union...where's Jimmy Hoffa? No I don't think these thugs should be allowed to even operate, as they run more jobs out of our country every year. People need to wake up. -

Union bosses should not have the "freedom" to demand employees vote the way they tell them to vote. If they intimidate enployees to do so, they should be arrested and fined. (There should be a law against it.)
All people should have the right to vote the way their consciences tell them to vote. This is not Nazi Germany. Down, down with bullies! -

Yeah I heard some unions want their union members to vote for whom they endorsed even if you didn't ...it's pretty screwed up that we have the right to vote for whom we want but these union bosses are pushy and if you want to be call out ot work you do as they want...I know one union hall that was suppose to let us vote for the caucus but was not open until Our Gov. called the state so we didn't get to vote...we when back 3 times...so u may wonder who we are voting for and it isn't the Group we aways voted...we jumped the party..

Just what is the objection(s) to a secret ballot? And by a union boss no less. Something smells like three day old fish.
