unions destroyed manufacturing in US... telco jobs flying overseas.

This is true. They are not people whose first interest is the people they represent. Their first interest is how much they can suck out of the suckers. There was a controversy over a world class golf course owned by a union that was losing money every year. Union bosses enjoyed playing on it with no waits, so they hid the losses from membership, and never invited union members to enjoy the privilege of playing it.

One of Obama's first acts as usurper was to block enforcement of the Beck Ruling which requires unions to disclose that members can withhold dues for political action.

What has sadly gone unreported in this fiasco is the nature of union-administred trust funds. The National Right to Work Foundation has previously revealed the lack of accountability in union pensions, which have often been used by union bosses as slush funds. As we told you last month, despite new federal reporting requirements, union and trust fund officials can choose to hide any trust expenditures they wish from their members. Can we really expect the new administration to ensure that union trusts aren't misusing their funds?

The loss of the number two player in the Obama/Pelosi Administration does not amount to a new Administration. Obama and his Alinskiite thugs are still in control. They will work doubly hard to execute a hostile takeover of government.
