1. Are these the Si, Se Puede farmworkers?? nt

[robbedvoter]

2. Can they still say it or was it copyrighted?

[polichick]

3. I don't know, but is it the same group?

Obviously, I know zip about the various unions.

[ronnykmarshall]

4. Like the phrase "fired up"?

I know I went out on a limb typing that. I'm sure I'll hear from the Obama camps legal team.

9. Founded by Cesar Chavez

The same and one and only

Founded in 1962 by Cesar Chavez, the United Farm Workers of America is the nation's first successful and largest farm workers union currently active in 10 states. The UFW continues to organize and represent farm workers, including 27,000 farm workers who labor under union contracts at least one day out of the year. Recent years have witnessed dozens of key UFW union contract victories, among them the largest strawberry, rose, winery and mushroom firms in California and the nation. Many recent UFW-sponsored laws and regulations aide farm workers, including last year when the union convinced California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to issue the first state regulation in the U.S. preventing further heat deaths of farm workers. The UFW is also pushing its historic bipartisan and broadly backed AgJobs immigration reform bill.

11. Worth noting that Cesar Chavez' brother and Delores Huerta a cofounder have endorsed Hillary...

5. Bueno

:kick:

[ShortnFiery]

6. Yes, but like Bill Clinton PONTIFICATES, you can still be a *good member* and vote for "the other"

Labor endorsements don't mean squat to "the individual members."

Why? Bill Clinton told us all so during the Nevada Caucas. :evilgrin:

Or are "The Clintons" going to give us WHIPLASH and insist all members vote for who's endorsed by the Union Leaders?!? :crazy:

[SaveElmer]

7. Do you know who the leaders and founders of the United Farmworkers are...

And what their role has been in advocacy of better working conditions for farm laborers?

You have a graduate degree right?

[ShortnFiery]

13. I know that you have a graduate degree in rudeness. It doesn't matter albeit some have lost

their roots. No, it doesn't matter who founded The United Farmworkers ... why? Bill Clinton has just kicked open the door for "the rank and file" workers to vote independent of "their leaders."

Don't be wrapping yourself in a union flag - it's NOT Clintonian of you :evilgrin: ... I'm pro-union.

What have "The Clintons" done for UNIONS?!?

Therefore, I'm not getting why they'd support these pro-NAFTA people from The Clintonian DLC.

One Word: WalMart

:wtf: over


You're welcome. ;)

[SaveElmer]

14. So you don't know then?...nt

[ShortnFiery]

18. What I know for a fact is that a red-faced Bill Clinton told "The Cullinary Union" workers

that *each person* needs to make up his/her own mind.

Don't give me a history lesson, especially when this endorsement is, on it's surface "suspect."

Here and now - what "hidden agendas" are at play?

Do you honestly believe that Bill and Hill are Pro-Union? :shrug:

[SaveElmer]

20. Ok...so you don't...thanks...

You may wanna get the money you paid for that degree back...you didn't get what you paid for apparently...

[BigDDem]

30. Hey SnF

How's your man DK doing? :hi:

[Metric System]

8. Maybe...

this union actually consulted with its' members before making an endorsement?

[sufrommich]

28. How the hell do you imagine the Clinton campaign

is going to"insist" Union members vote for her?Do you ever post anything that isn't swimming in drama and hyperbole?

[William769]

10. K&R!

[BigDDem]

15. Corporate shills!

[avrdream]

16. Wow, that's a good endorsement.

Should probably help her already good Hispanic turnout and vote.

[NewHampster]

21. You think

:hippie:

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

17. There's got to be a "sour grapes" joke in here somewhere

[Lucinda]

31. Goober.

[IndianaJones]

[Cameron27]

22. Yea!

[Rock_Garden]

[LulaMay]

29. Goood...

Nice coup for Hillary. I'm not surprised though.

[bigdarryl]

32. looks like union endorsements don;t mean shit in light what happened in NV

[suston96]

33. In Nevada? Many latinos in those unions didn't listen to their bosses...

...and they did their own thing. And so it will happen everywhere else.

[durrrty libby]

34. K & R
