Beware: SEIU’s Purple Army marches on Massachusetts

They’ve dumped nearly a $1 million of rank-and-file dues into Martha Antoinette Coakley’s coffers.

They “pulled out all the stops” before the primary and they’ll be throwing all their ground troops into the Bay State over the weekend.

We know how the SEIU thugs operate. I told you in Culture of Corruption about Andy Stern’s organizational motto: “[W]e prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesn’t work we use the persuasion of power.”

They’ll go after Boy Scouts.

And baby-sitters.

And home health-care providers.

They raided their treasury to pour $60-$80 million into Obama and the Democrats’ 2008 campaigns.

They’re not about to roll over and play nice while their 60-vote supermajority slips away.

Hotline On Call reports on the SEIU’s mobilization this weekend. Where are the counterforces?

SEIU has stepped up its involvement in MA in the waning days of the race, sending hundreds of volunteers and hundreds of thousands of dollars to the state on behalf of AG Martha Coakley (D).

The union, one of the most powerful arrows in the Dem quiver, is spending $685K on TV ads touting Coakley and slamming state Sen. Scott Brown (R), and a spokesperson for SEIU says it will have 300 volunteers on the ground on Tuesday.

The heightened activity has some GOPers on edge, and at least one group is worried SEIU could be taking over for ACORN as a top organizational tool benefiting Dem candidates.

“This whole thing is turnout, and this looks like the place the SEIU-ACORN folks turn on the turnout machine. They did it in Minnesota, successfully,” said David Norcross, chair of the Republican National Lawyers Association.

The RNLA will send its own volunteers to MA for Election Day, with plans to monitor polling places to prevent any fraud. The group got a tip that SEIU-sponsored buses would be taking voters to the polls, Norcross said.

I see your point. Scary how close to anarchy we are, isn’t it? As SEIU’s Andy Stearn said: “If the power of persuasion doesn’t work we’ll show them the persuasion of power.” It may be time to let him and his thugs that works 2 ways.

It sounds as though they plan to disrupt the election results with phony voters and force a recount. They are following the Franken / Gregoire model.

That sign should read Seiu Members in the area because they operate outside most of the time.

Pray for Brown this weekend, but be optimistic. Look at the resources they need to spent to defend a seat that should be a sure thing, and this during an off-year special election. If unemployment doesn't show signs of improving, November will be very interesting,

““..our people need to bring many many video cameras..”

And baseball bats, pepper spray, and heavy rings on each knuckle of your hand.”

I would recommend Wasp spray instead of pepper spray. It shoots 20-30 feet and doesn’t blow back. Be sure you aim for the eyes! Good luck, MA voters, we need you to send a message!
