Pres Obama, Democrats can no longer deny the need to enact the Employee Free Choice Act.
29 miners tragically killed. They had repeatedly attempted to organize and form a union.

Massey CEO Don Blankenship repeatedly and potentially illegally busted every organizing attempt.

The miner tragedy, falling wages, wage-slavery, the growing wealth divide, exploding CEO pay.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

At one time(1930's), Democrats and labor unions formed a powerful coalition, their pinnacle achievement:

THE MIDDLE CLASS.

But, that was back in the day when the Democratic Party actually had a fucking spine.

Did corporate America surgically remove that spine?

Please call the White House and demand the President push for passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. Can the need for EFCA be any clearer?
