On February 25, 2011, Florida State Representative Chris Dorworth (R-Lake Mary) introduced HB 1021. The bill sought to curtail the political power of unions by prohibiting public employers from deducting any amount from an employee’s pay for use by an employee organization (i.e., union dues) or for any political activity (i.e., the portion of union dues used for lobbying or for supporting candidates for office).

Furthermore, HB 1021 stated that, should a union seek to use any portion of dues independently collected from members for political activity, the union must obtain annual written authorization from each member.

In effect, this bill defunds public-sector unions—like AFSCME, SEIU, the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association—by making the collection of member dues an onerous, costly task. With public-sector unions denatured, they would no longer be able to stand in the way of radical free marketeers who plan to profit from the privatization of public services.

Given the similarities between HB 1021 and a rash of like-minded bills in states across the country, including Wisconsin, on March 30 a public records request was sent to Dorworth’s office seeking copies of all documents pertaining to the writing of HB 1021, including copies of any pieces of model legislation the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) may have provided.

"So all you little people out there, you Americans, can just sit down, STFU, and watch Fox (R) to get your Daily Thinking Points. Then you can witlessly help us impose ALEC (smirk) on America: eliminate the Useless Eaters, control the free will of human beings, bury your souls in vacant materialism, and meanwhile funnel MORE MORE MORE MORE to the rich in the form of Massive Special Eeeleete Tax Cuts & MORE MORE MORE Republicon Socialistic Welfare for the rich. Bwaaa ha ha ha ha. Suckers."

3. The Traitors Within

We have spent years looking out over the ramparts at external enemies, all the while the internal traitors have been slowly digging away at the Republic given to us by the Founders!

We have failed to protect that Republic from the those who would see it destroyed, those who would fill their pockets at the expense of the American people...

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear."
— Marcus Tullius Cicero

Have we reached this point?
