Guest ALWAYS RED_* Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I was dismayed to hear that the Senator Specter flip-flopped on the Employee Free Choice Act after cosponsoring the bill in 2005 and supporting an up-or-down vote in 2007. I urge you to allow the Senate to have an up-or-down vote on this critical bill. It is good to know that you have traded cards with the dealer. Remember that Unions only become more important as the economy worsens." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David Bonior Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Opponents of workers’ rights have attempted to say and do anything to distract from the issue at hand, yet a majority of the public remains committed to fighting for real solutions for our struggling middle class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GREED Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 It’s the Wall Street way of doing business. Getting rich is everything. Reward yourself for failure. Employees don’t matter. Exploiting them is acceptable. Don’t let workers get ahead. That’s why they think they deserve bailouts and bonuses for bringing our economy down. And then turn around and try to keep workers from joining unions to earn better wages and benefits. Don’t let them get away with it. Tell Congress to pass the Employee Free Choice Act now. It’s time the economy worked for everyone again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that politcal views and party support were discussed. Photo: Sharon Farmer Edited April 30, 2009 by Luke_Wilbur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob Gleason Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 As the Chairman of the Republican Party of Pennsylvania and a citizen of the Keystone State, I am committed to defeating Arlen Specter and winning this Senate seat back for the Republican Party. It is apparent that Arlen Specter chose to act in his own self-interest and put his political ambitions first. I, like many of my fellow Pennsylvania Republicans, took Senator Specter at his word when he said that he would not switch parties, and I believe he owes every Republican who has supported him over the last three decades an apology. Arlen Specter can rest assured that we are committed to winning this seat back for the Republican Party in 2010. I am confident that we will win with your generous support, I know we can. If comedian Al Franken is seated, with Specter's vote, the Democrats have a filibuster-proof 60 seats. This means they will push their liberal agenda even further and we must put a stop to it!
