Yep, and Alabama is the new Michigan. We have several new UAW targets, Honda, Mercedes, Hundai, and lots of spinoff companies.
Alabamaians also have an independent streak.

And just recently, Unions were prevented from spending money on political campaigns without member permission.
Sucks to be them.

A cloture vote to end debate and vote on this bill failed yesterday! The vote was 51-against and 48-for! This was 9 votes short of the 60 votes need to end debate and bring the bill to a vote. All 50 Democrats stood behind labor, and among the 49 Republicans, only Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania broke ranks.

One of the most sacred rights Americans enjoy and have enjoyed from the earliest days of our Republic is the secret ballot.Paul is a little weak on history. The secret ballot is actually a fairly recent invention.
It was first used in Australia around 1860 and was adopted in most American states during the 1880s.
Prior to that voting was public, so everybody knew who you had voted for, which at least helped keep the bought and paid for voters "honest."
