This is the first in a Daily Caller investigative series.
The politically aggressive Service Employees International Union SEIU has quietly created a national network of at least eight community-organizing groups, some of which function alongside the Occupy Wall Street movement, a Daily Caller investigation shows.
Incorporated by the SEIU as local non-profits, the groups are waging concerted local political campaigns to publicly attack conservative political figures, banks, energy companies and other corporations.
Each local group has portrayed itself as an independent community organization not tied to any special interest. But they were founded, incorporated, and led by SEIU personnel.
The individual activist groups use benign-sounding names including This Is Our DC; Good Jobs, Great Houston; Good Jobs, Better Baltimore; Good Jobs Now in Detroit; Fight for Philly; One Pittsburgh; Good Jobs LA; and Minnesotans for a Fair Economy.
In reality, they are creations of the wealthy and influential labor union, amounting to a secret network of new SEIU front groups.
On two occasions in 2011, approximately 30 Our DC protesters descended on the congressional office of Republican Senate Minority Leader. The first of those two December efforts was part of a “Take Back the Capital” campaign orchestrated by union officials and coinciding with an Occupy DC rally.

Thugs, mobs, criminals, aggressive attackers of conservatives, thieves stealing members (and non members in union owned states) money etc etc
People all across the political spectrum use subterfuge as a way to make their message more palatable.
What about all the SuperPAC's and their hyper-patriotic-but-bland-sounding names?
The best defense is a good offense.
Name calling isn't particularly helpful.
It’s time for the “Republican” Candidates to speak to the intent to “Prosecute Unions under RICO Statutes for Corruption”, and let’s get it on !
Take them all to the deep desert. (from movie...)
These are brown shirts, period. USA has fallen a long ways for this Nazi/fascist/socialist street beater system to arise here.
They are violating the law.
Every adjective I used to describe them is a factual description.
The rest of this series can be seen by going to the link and then to the bottom of each article and clicking on "next"The SEIU’s connection to Our DC and other local groups is clear. An SEIU-tied Washington, D.C. law firm incorporated each of them. The founding board members are solely SEIU executives and organizers. In each city the founding addresses match those of SEIU locals.
For example, the legal name of the Los Angeles group “Good Jobs LA,” is “Good Jobs, Safe Communities LA.” It is registered with the California Secretary of State at the Sacramento headquarters address of SEIU California.
The street addresses listed on many of the websites themselves, however, do not correspond with SEIU locals.
At least one of the websites, “One Pittsburgh,” provides a list of 14 “coalition partners,” including the NAACP, the Sierra Club, Clean Water Action, and locals of the United Food and Commercial Workers and an Ironworkers union affiliated with the AFL-CIO. The SEIU is among that list, making its role appear minor.
The Daily Caller previously reported on a similar tactic employed in February by the United Auto Workers, which sought to distance itself from a “99% Spring” campaign scheduled for April. Planning documents described that union as one participant of many, even though the documents were being distributed from an unprotected portion of a UAW Web server.
Many of the Internet domain names for the groups’ websites were originally registered through an anonymous proxy service. But records compiled by Robtex.com, a website reputation management firm, reveal that all of their IP (Internet Protocol) addresses link back to a main SEIU Web server.
An IP address is a unique number assigned to an Internet-connected computer or computer network.
Follow the money. Even though they have their first amendment right to speak out, we also have the right to find out who’s funding them. The MSM sure looks into conservative groups, trying to tie them to the Koch brothers, we need to do the same, tying them to George Soros, or whatever other liberal group is funding them.

Republicans aren't inspired to go after union corruption or voter fraud.
It's a shame.
Yea thanks to the weak kneed jellybellied republicans.
This is why andy stern made all those visits to obama in the White House.
The corruption is deep.
Pretty much every SuperPAC name is either so generic as to be meaningless or duplicitous in that they clearly support one candidate or the other but claim otherwise.
Should they all be outlawed too?
If you don't know anything about the Chicago/Mob/Thug/Obama/Ayers/Emmanuel/Union/RICOeligable then do some research.
No dead fish for you!
The cockroaches are just getting positioned for the violence & chaos that is scheduled next fall and winter...
The "mobs" have already been in the streets all over the country attacking people for the past 2-years as part of the plan...
Zero, it sadly appears that you are beginning to believe your own bullshit.
You know what happens when that happens.
