SEIU's Debt Problem
26 Apr 2010 10:46 AM
In today’s Washington Times RNLA Member, and former Bush Administration official, F. Vincent Vernuccio, outlines the financial mess that Andy Stern is leaving the SEIU in as he leaves his leadership post in Obama’s favorite union. Purple may be the official color of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), but Andy Stern is leaving the union... Read More...

Working Families Party Threatens Wavering Dems.
15 Mar 2010 11:22 AM
Politico reports that New York's Working Families Party (WFP) has announced that the party "will deny its endorsement to any member of Congress who votes 'no' on health care legislation." WFP is ACORN's (now New York Communities for Change) unofficial political arm in New York State. (Among numerous other close ties to ACORN, ACORN CEO... Read More...

Damage Control – SEIU Tries to Distance Itself from ACORN
20 Nov 2009 12:06 PM
I believe that SEIU and ACORN have been wed together for so long it's nearly impossible for them to divorce. Stephen Spruiell has a great article in the National Review that sheds some light on that relationship. But today, an article from the Houston Chronicle really caught my eye. SEIU has apparently revoked the charter of Local 100 - the ACORN founded... Read More...

National Review on SEIU, ACORN and White House
11 Nov 2009 12:43 PM
In recent weeks, we have blogged about the web of connections between ACORN, SEIU, and the White House. Chris Berg noted that SEIU President Andrew Stern has been the most frequent guest at the White House, appearing on average of about three times per month since Obama took office. A National Review piece out today probes these connections further. (There are... Read More...

Trouble in Paradise – ACORN Founder Calls Out SEIU
10 Nov 2009 8:29 AM
While I was busy celebrating the electoral victories last week I didn't step back to think about how Wade Rathke would view them. Lucky for us, he took the time to blog about them. Much like Pelosi and Gibbs he insists the Republican victories in New Jersey and Virginia have nothing to do with President Obama or America's frustration with his agenda.... Read More...

Beam Me Up – Maybe James Traficant Has the Healthcare Solution
9 Nov 2009 5:06 PM
Pelosi-Care passed the House. I'm sure you've already checked out the RNLA paper on Healthcare Reform. SEIU is lobbying heavy for passage in the Senate, and ACORN has to sit this one out while they wrangle with their latest scandal. Who can save the day? How about former Congressman James "Beam Me Up" Traficant? I wonder why he's holding... Read More...

ACORN Would Love to Be Part of This Fight
9 Nov 2009 8:12 AM
Pelosi-Care has passed the House. As much as those words should scare you, the game isn't over yet. All but one Republican voted against the Bill. The Republicans lead rallies, protests, brought in Jon Voight and John Ratzenberger. Representatives Bachmann and King really lead the charge. The public spoke up, but the Democrats in power continued to move the... Read More...

WSJ - Unions Were Tuesdays Biggest Loser
5 Nov 2009 9:41 AM
We've been following the union agenda for a while, its ties to the Obama Administration, its employees who have received appointments. Today Michael Barone has a great piece in the Wall Street Journal explaining that the union agenda was Tuesday's biggest loser. Maybe Patrick Gaspard won't have a home with SEIU once Obama sends him on his way after... Read More...

Don’t Blame Me… I’m Just the President
4 Nov 2009 1:10 PM
If you don't believe me, the Washington Post has come to the same conclusion that I did. The Obama Administration is trying to insulate the President from two spectacular losses, and instead is trying to focus attention on New York 23. Let's see, two states that voted for Obama rejected Democrat Governor Candidates, one Congressional District in which... Read More...

SEIU’s Man in the White House Has a Bad Day
4 Nov 2009 10:28 AM
This can't be a good day for SEIU's man in the White House Patrick Gaspard . Gaspard serves as Obama's Political Director. He previously filled that role over at SEIU. Think about those who have previously worked in the office of political affairs, Ed Rollins, Lee Atwater, and Ken Mehlman. I'm not sure Gaspard lives up to his predecessors. Though... Read More...

Is New Jersey Recount Bound? WSJ Says Watch Out For Absentee Ballot Fraud
2 Nov 2009 3:21 PM
John Fund at the Wall Street Journal has an interesting article out today regarding the race for New Jersey Governor. We've already reported on the questionable absentee ballot applications. Fund looks at this in the greater context of the efforts of SEIU and ACORN to impact the election. He also touches on some of the material that is contained in his latest... Read More...

Longtime ACORN Target is Bankrupt
22 Oct 2009 1:00 PM
Today's Wall Street Journal had an interesting article that mentioned the effect of the General Growth Property (GGP) bankruptcy. GGP had long been a target of ACORN and SEIU. They stood out, because they fought back against ACORN's "Muscle for Money" campaign. In 2007 the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) sought to organize janitors... Read More...

Congress Won’t Help, so SEIU and ACORN Make New Friends
19 Oct 2009 10:02 AM
We all knew that with the election of Barack Obama Big Labor would have a good friend in the White House. You could tell labor unions thought the election of Obama would help them turn around their steady membership decline. The stakes were high for big labor, and they put their money where their mouth was. The AFL-CIO pledged to spend $200 million to help elect... Read More...
