Alarm bells go off every time Rush attacks this group

Obama's buddies are the unions. Yesterday Rush played a recording of Obama talking to the SEIU when he was running for Congress. I would think that would tip many DUers off that UNIONS can help bring about the change we voted for in Nov. of last year.

Where do you stand?

(Studio) Nixon runs into small group hecklers in Fresno, California, because he's opposed to grape boycott. Vice President Humphrey endorsed grape boycott. Chanting drowned out by Nixon supporters.

3. Unions built this nation's middle class and enabled us to lead the world in innovation and
productivity. Then the Reagan administration happened. Since then? Look around.

5. K&R - Unions mean Progress at work and in politics.
For some reason, the people who made "Liberal" into a dirty word made "Union" into one, too.

Please count me in, Omaha Steve. Unions bring change for the better.
