Take Action! Stop the Union Budget Busting Bills

Take Action! Stop the Union Budget Busting Bills Americans for Prosperity

It will expand binding arbitration to local authorities, school districts and boards and do nothing to reform arbitration in cities and townships."

HB 6154 will extend binding arbitration to county corrections workers and greatly increase costs to counties and taxpayers."

Call your state rep. and senator or pay the price for your lethargy.

Maybe this is what they have in mind:

Al Gore's Alleged Affair With Laurie David

Dear Margo: Al Gore's Alleged Affair With Laurie David -- Reason for His BP Silence? wowOwow
"He is silent on this issue for the same reason that Teddy Kennedy couldn’t join the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas fight: The equivalency to Teddy’s womanizing is that Mr. Gore has been in a two-year affair with Laurie David, also an environmentalist, and it would be, uh, unseemly."

“I am romantic about the National Health Service,’’ Berwick told a British audience in 2008.
“I love it.’’
He not only loves the National Health Service, he extols it as “an example for the whole world — an example . . . that the United States needs now.’’"
