The Florida House delivered a major blow to public employee unions Friday, approving a bill that would ban automatic dues deduction from a government paycheck and require members to sign off on the use of their dues for political purposes.

Democrats and Republicans fought over the legislation for just under two hours. Democrats and labor unions have accused conservatives of "union-busting" and said the bill was more about political payback than public policy. Unions have typically been big backers of Democratic candidates.

Rep. Chris Dorworth, R-Lake Mary, the House sponsor of the legislation, said this was simply the state's movement to get out of the dues deduction business and let the unions take care of it.

"It's a bill that empowers membership of labor unions," Dorworth said.

I love how the rethugs are trying to frame this as a pro-union bill.

1. We are catching on now, right?

Using the system of laws created to stand behind as despots. Unstoppable in that respect without some form of revolt or uprising in united and extreme ways.

The picture gets more than clear. We are in a very critical and pivotal time. Nothing is as usual, but they will count on us to think so and act as if. Time is of the essence, in more ways than one, in these times.

Consider your personal reaction, response and course while you are able to.
