DNC Expands Role In Labor Protests To Ohio, Indiana


WASHINGTON -- Building on the momentum in Wisconsin, where tens of thousands of protesters have turned out to oppose Republican Gov. Scott Walker's effort to strip collective-bargaining rights from the state's public-employee unions, President Barack Obama's campaign organization is mobilizing its followers in Ohio and Indiana, where similar measures are being considered.

So now what we have is the White House and the entire DNC sending mobs to protest Democracy!

Let there be no doubt that is what they are protesting against.

The PEOPLE lawfully and democratically elected these officials to solve their budget problems and that's what they are doing.

The Chicago and Communist Union way. Legislative democratic process be damned if the bullies do not get their way.

Obama is on the side of the Communist Unions. He has drawn the line and is clearly the enemy within as Obama encourages anti-government protests within the individual states.

Impeach Obama now!

The NEA clearly does not care about the failing state of our education system, does not care about the children, and only cares about sticking it to the government and tax payer. Absolutely disgraceful and disgusting. No surprise that Obama supports them. The guy is completely delusional about economic reality.

Wasn't it a Democrat that said "elections have consequences"?

That's correct.

So people are not allowed to protest any more?

Welcome to democracy neo-conservative style.

Didn't hear you complaining when the Tea Party were out protesting against a democratically elected government.

Hypocrites ... You bet

...and what are they really protesting?

That they might have to pay into their own retirement and health care plans LESS than what most private employees have to these days?

Such a huge difference however....

What the Tea Party protested was that their elected officials were IGNORING their constituents completely.

In this case, the elected officials are FOLLOWING their constituent's desires.

The NEA cares about power, politics and having their way.
Education is the vehicle they are using for their agenda.
