This is just one battle in the war. The next election cycle we need to continue to find great, conservative & constitutional candidates to primary against rino senators not up for re-election this cycle and to hold those elected in this round their feet to the fire, otherwise launch primary candidates against them in 2 years.
The progressives can only achieve their goals through stealth. Once exposed, they resort to facist attacks (Andy Stern’s “persuasion of power”).
Union members are apparently now waking up to the fact they their union dues are being wasted on political activity they do not agree with. Which is why there should also be a tea party movement within the various union organizations.
About Unions in government - it is time for Republicans to give those employees a raise by allowing them to reject membership as done in any state that has “right to work” laws. Then in four years make government unions a thing of the past. Look at the small steps the left uses on gay rights, on medical care, they pushed prescription drugs till Bush had to make something happen. The left is willing to take small steps - that was once the power of Reagan too. Small steps making government rules smaller, making the # of employees smaller, making pensions smaller...it takes citizens like the Tea Party to show government what they MUST do...get out of our lives.
