SEIU Says It’s Spending “Tens of Millions” of Dollars to Recruit Minority Army to Push the Obama Agenda at Town Halls…
Let the skull-cracking commence.
(WSJ) — The Service Employees International Union is planning a major campaign to recruit members and counter political pressure on public-sector unions, according to an internal union memo and an SEIU board member.
The campaign — called Fight for a Fair Economy — will focus on mobilizing mostly low-wage minority workers in 10 to 15 cities, including Cleveland, Milwaukee, Miami and Detroit, according to the memo reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. The SEIU wants the effort to peak in the summer of 2012, with events at primaries, town-hall meetings and other campaign venues, according to the memo.
SEIU spokeswoman Inga Skippings declined to confirm that the memo reflected the final plans of the union, which has two million members, and said its strategy continues to evolve.
The cities designated for the campaign have high concentrations of SEIU members and are in states where governors have proposed cutting benefits to public-sector workers amid worries over pension costs and broader budget woes. In some of the targeted states, lawmakers are considering “right to work” legislation that would eliminate laws making union membership mandatory whenever a union is formed at an employer.
SEIU President Mary Kay Henry and other officers presented the plan in January to the union’s 68-member executive board at a meeting in Puerto Rico, according to the board member. The board adopted the plan, according to this person, who was present. Ms. Henry couldn’t be reached. SEIU spokeswoman Inga Skippings declined to confirm that a memo reviewed by The Wall Street Journal described the final version of the union’s plan, or provide spending projections.
The board member predicted the effort would cost “tens of millions” of dollars; the SEIU spent more than $70 million on the 2008 elections.

They want minorities so if anyone fights back or even calls them “thugs”, they’ll be automatically portrayed as “racists”.
Does the SEIU have insurance to cover these fools in case of injury or death?
Here comes the union goon thug phase of the Obama re-election campaign.
Yep, I and if we bring knives, they will bring guns.
Lets get it on!
Good old Obama and his marriage to the Unions. Everything is always smoke and mirrors,,, like the public is suppose to believe that all these people really do support the agenda, and instead, they are the fake-reality. We can’t be expected to believe anything we see or hear, with these thugs running the show. Every time the RIGHT has a new/strong platform, the LEFT’s only goal is to over-ride and neutralize. They have tried to discredit the “TeaParty” by aligning it to Radical groups. They have tried to neutralize “Reagan’s Legacy”, and Palin’s likeness to Reagan, by Obama aligning and likening himself to Reagan (and Lincoln, LOL). The “town halls” are a place where the people can voice their “REALITY”, so now they will be “INFILTRATED” with the “fake-reality-crowd” to discourage opposition. The LEFT are desperately attempting to make US feel as though we are in the minority if we “disagree” with Obama.
The Usual Game Plan: Brainwash the masses, gain pity by allowing yourself to be portrayed by other’s as a victim of discrimination, as someone who people refuse to RESPECT, even though you supposedly deserve it (not because of your character, but because of your position), blame the lack of progress in the country on someone else, but take credit for everything that works out, even if you had nothing to do with it,,, implying that you have the Midas Touch.
It will work again, on some level, like it did the last time around. Some people are easily fooled. Some people are just FOOLS. Hopefully, though, Obama and his Campaign Generals will overestimate the power of their SMOKE AND MIRRORS SHOW, this next election cycle.
And us right wingers are astroturfers?
Is this civilian army only better trained and no hands tied behind their back to be nice to we peons?
Can you imagine the rioting that’s going to be going on with this shit?
Its just wave after, wave after wave, with Obama.
Time to take this man/boy out of office and put him in a prison cell. He is turning lose the Union Thugs to rough up old people and scare Mothers with small children.
I say bring them to my town and see how fast the Good old Boys organize their Asses out of here with some well-placed buckshot.
We don’t have to take this shit.
Find out where they’re going to be and for how long. Block all the streets and send them home like a Phelps Baptist member.
This is just crazy. Lets take back our Cites and streets and make it next to impossible for these thugs to get into town.
We need to beat them at their own game. I’m sick and tired of hearing about Union this and Union that and when its not the Unions it’s the Muslims.
I’m ready for a good old fashion butt whooping.
Is there a point to making the face of the Union Violence momement, um, darker than lily white?
Odummy go ahead and recruit your Minority Army but it will not be big enough or tough enough to take on American Patriots ,we know how you operate, we will beat you at your own game. Nothing you can throw at us we haven’t already seen.
BRING IT ON, WE ARE READY WE HAVE HAD TWO LONG YEARS TO GET READY !
Bring it ON you idiots- we beat you already, we will again.
They keep pushing and pushing . When the time comes we will give them the attention they so crave . In the meantime I will continue to love my country and family , read my bible , and clean my weapons .
And this is different from the billionaire Koch brothers funding the Tea Party…how?
Oh, right. It’s no different. The Tea Party has been a billionaire/corporate-funded goon squad from day one. The whole reason you guys fear the SEIU having a goon squad is because you want to be the only goons in town. Well, here’s a hint: lefties in America don’t fight dirty. We leave that to you guys. You guys can go mob the town halls and make asses of yourselves. We’ll protest peacefully, thank you very much.
Seriously, guys: grow up. Mature a little.
SEIU pushes for Obamacare and then gets waivers exempting them from this oh so wonderful bill.
Hmmm, LET THEM EAT CAKE seems to be the moto.
@Chester Bogus:
Your name is appropriate because you espouse rhetoric with no backing and you use the most simplistic form of sophistry. I really don’t know why you even post at all. Your comments are so blatently ostensible that they are malicious acts that the liberal left is so accustomed of committing and just blame the conservatives of participating in such acts.
I would engage you in debate using facts and logic but you and your ilk have already proven that you could not return the favor.
So with that, I’ll wipe my @ss with your name and look for those who still haven’t consumed the whole pitcher of Kool-Aid and signed up for the mandantory “MARXISM for DUMB-ASSES…(aka Democrats).”
Well…Chester it is today? OK, my question still stands. Don’t be a pussy.
Bogus Chester , pull your head out of your ass ! On second thought leave it there where it belongs .
