Union letter to Pelosi and Reid (Obamacare)
News Review ^ | 8/02/13 | James P. Hoffa

Posted on 08/12/2013 3:11:19 PM PDT by Libloather

**SNIP**

Dear Leader Reid and Leader Pelosi:

When you and the President sought our support for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), you pledged that if we liked the health plans we have now, we could keep them. Sadly, that promise is under threat. Right now, unless you and the Obama Administration enact an equitable fix, the ACA will shatter not only our hard-earned health benefits, but destroy the foundation of the 40 hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class.

**SNIP**

Since the ACA was enacted, we have been bringing our deep concerns to the Administration, seeking reasonable regulatory interpretations to the statute that would help prevent the destruction of non-profit health plans. As you both know first-hand, our persuasive arguments have been disregarded and met with a stone wall by the White House and the pertinent agencies.

*giggle*

Poor little communist didn’t understand that the goal wasn’t to help people. The goal my dear union member, was expansion of government and it’s power. That’s done, you and your kind are no longer important. Please stop annoying your betters in the political class, lest you be taught another lesson.

" We continue to stand behind real health care reform, but the law as it stands will hurt millions of Americans including the members of our respective unions."

Effing morons. You people are the dogs which helped this vomit come about. Now eat your vomit.

That’s pretty much it in a nutshell, and only now are the Union morons coming to understand what happened. The passage of Obamacare was NEVER intended to help people. NEVER!

Although everybody knows full well there will be some special last minute union exemption...I still hope and hope and hope, that the unions will get absolutely and totally screwed on this, as it was their underhanded tactics that got us this krap in the first place.

The union thugs are kind of like the Communist revolutionaries that are shocked when the new government says:

“You fought against your own government. How do we know that you might not rise up against us some day?
Thanks for all your help, but we can’t trust you.
Please take a number and stand in line in front of the firing squad outside.”

When it's all said and done, the only ones forced to subscribe and pay for obamacare will be Republicans.

After it was all over, and they were loading people on the trucks to take to the re-education camps, the Viet Cong protested. They said they had been loyal, they had sacrificed and died. That’s true, they were told, but they were not loyal communists. And then they heard the words: “Get on the truck comrade.”

Cruz and company want to proceed with this ‘defund obamacare’ stategy that won’t work.
End result will be saving the Dem’s from their own bad laws.

The best way to defeat a bad law is to enforce it on everyone.

Not only that, you are about to become demographically irrelevant as union workers are replaced with illegal aliens who will be given the right vote. Your support will no longer be a necessity.

Lol. Ya. They haven't figured that one out yet. They are thinking that they will get millions of new Union members only the flood of new legal workers will depress wages. Basic supply and demand.

“The best way to defeat a bad law to.
require everyone to experience it.”

I agree..best place to draw line. on
defunding ACA ie shutting down.
govt is over requireing everyone...
unions, congress and staffers to
be in same boat with us. It would be a popular
grass roots move for GOP.
