AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka will be at the White House today with other labor leaders to meet with Vice President Joe Biden and Department of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis. It is telling that no agenda has been released for today’s meeting but I am sure the ongoing union battles in Wisconsin and other states will be […]
“The tenor of the discussion over the past couple of years has gotten particularly bad…the way some people have chosen to express their opinions over the last couple of years has been getting worse and worse. And that includes individuals, organizations, talk shows and candidates for office.” That was Congressman Michael Capuano (D-Mass) in the wake […]
Organizing for America, President Obama’s political arm, is playing a vital role in the union protests happening in Madison, Wisconsin this week. Facing a $3.6 billion budget hole, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is taking reasonable steps to close the budget gap with union reforms. President Obama, and DNC Chairman Tim Kaine, are meddling in this important […]
It has been two years of failure since President Obama signed his $800 billion so-called stimulus bill, promising that the unemployment rate would not go above 8 percent.

For somebody who hates America and capitalism, I find it laughable that Michael Moore is suing the Weinstein brothers for $2.7 million. The lawsuit stems from Moore’s anti-American film Fahrenheit 9/11that the Weinsteins co-executive produced. Moore’s already netted $19.8 million for that liberal propaganda piece, but apparently wants more. He complains about capitalism, but takes full advantage […]
Senate Democrats rejected the House Republicans’ budget plan yesterday that attempts to reign in the deficit and bring down our $14 trillion debt. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s plan would cut $74 billion from the federal budget. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called the plan “unworkable” and “draconian.” If Senator Reid hedges on cutting only […]
Only 36,000 jobs were created in January according to a new jobs report by the Labor Department this morning. That is nowhere near the amount of jobs needed to be created to sustain an economic recovery. President Obama’s policies have not helped get Americans back to work. He has focused on a big government, job killing […]
Today I sent a letter to the Senate urging them to support the McConnell amendment to the FAA Reauthorization bill repealing Obamacare and to inform them that any votes on Obamacare will be considered for Citizens United’s 2011 Congressional Ratings. Please see our previous vote alert to the House of Representatives on Obamacare here. Citizens […]
