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. ***
Good idea for counterforces: The local police unions that spurned Coakley for Brown.
Let’s hope the Eric Holder-approved New Black Panther Party thugs aren’t on those SEIU buses.
Speaking of the New Black Panthers, Main Justice spotlights Malik Shabazz’s latest racist rant.
I’m surprised he hasn’t received an Obama czar appointment yet.
Hold it now...I’m totally confuzzed.
There was a thread here on FR w/ SEIIU members wearing their purple shirts & holding up Scott Brown signs. What’s up w/ that?
It won’t matter - ACORN will undoubtedly have enough votes for Coakley regardless of how many people vote for Brown.
FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.
Yep, and President Bush will have more reasons to laugh come Wednesday!
The Dems better mind their p’s and q’s, because if this election is stolen, this could ALL BLOW UP IN THEIR FACES BIGTIME.
Hi libertarian27! Biggirl. :)=^..^=
Been checking out the Scott Brown threads and they are BUSY! Looks good for him I say. :)
Miss you over at the RVO Chatroom for SOC.
Take a look at post number 44. That idea would be most helpful to keep both at bay and prevent any shenanigans.
That would be a GREAT IDEA. Protect those polling places with those groups. Will keep the trouble makers at bay.
Wow! Maybe there is still some sanity left!
“It won’t matter - ACORN will undoubtedly have enough votes for Coakley regardless of how many people vote for Brown.”
Turnout is the key. The more people who vote, the less control the Dem/Seiu/Acorn crowd will have over the results. There is a limit as to how many votes they can manufacture....
I hope, then, that my brother votes on Tuesday. And, that he votes intelligently.
It’s back to the Browncoats vs. the Purple Bellies...
Firefly reference...anyone...[echo]...
Time for you to make a polite but firm phone call to him tomorrow...
I will do that. He’s conservative, but doesn’t always vote. I’ll need to challenge him to get out.
Do it!
I will.
