Union ‘Card Check’ a Smokescreen for Lame Duck Pension Bailout
Union ‘Card Check’ a Smokescreen for Lame Duck Pension Bailout - HUMAN EVENTS:
Currently, “voluntarily” certification takes place when a union secures from a company a “neutrality” pre-agreement to use the card-check process for union certification—usually in exchange for other considerations.
Employees at this point have had no say whatsoever on whether or not a card-check process should be used."

Nevada voting machines automatically checking Harry Reid's name; voting machine technicians are SEIU members
Nevada voting machines automatically checking Harry Reid's name; voting machine technicians are SEIU members Washington Examiner: "Now the county voting technicians aren't unique here -- many of Clark County's employees are also represented by the SEIU.
But it is worth mentioning here, the SEIU is hyperpoliticized and has seen it's fair share of corruption.
(It certainly seems more questionable than Diebold, the voting machine manufacturer with Republican ties that was at the center of many conspiracy theories on the left during the Bush administration.)"

National Socialists: Rob Reiner Stars in ‘Factually Challenged with Bill Maher’
Big Hollywood » Blog Archive » National Socialists: Rob Reiner Stars in ‘Factually Challenged with Bill Maher’
"Hitler promised health care, said that Germany’s business infrastructure needed a total government reform, and promised that all of the Germans would have jobs.
Also, Hitler may have been elected by less than 40% of the people in Germany, but he was elected by 98.8% in Austria.
After becoming Chancellor of Austria he took over the health care system, the car company (Austria had one major car manufacturing company at the time), and the business infrastructure.
Hitler did not sell fear and anger, he sold fundamental change of the nation’s infrastructure.
He sold the hope of everyone having a job and that everyone had a right to be given medical treatment at the government’s provision."

NPR CEO Vivian Schiller Key Architect of FCC Govt Takeover of the News - Tara Servatius - Townhall Conservative
"Their plans, according to the FCC’s Future of Media report, are to raise this money by taxing for-profit news organizations – the ones whose reporting Schiller is supposedly trying to “save.”
They want to charge “spectrum fees” of five percent of broadcast station revenues for use of the public spectrum and airwaves, which the government controls.
They figure that could bring in $1.8 billion a year.
A one percent tax on all electronic devices like cell phones, televisions and laptops could bring in billions more.
So would a monthly fee on internet subscriptions."
