Coleman Campaign in Trouble?

It sounds like Coleman has gotten himself into a whole bunch of trouble.

I wish he would have put a stop to the ads. All he had to do was say the word.

Should workers be able to cast a private ballot when voting for or against a union at their workplace? Should company management and union management know how a certain person voted?

" Swift Boating"? You mean like people in John Kerry's Navy unit coming forward and saying that Mr. Kerry was bending the truth over many of Mr Kerry's claims?

Looking good for Independence candidate, Jack Uldrich.

Thanks for the update Diana

Since this is going to "My yard and garden", does anyone think there is a need for a native plant group? Those plants are annoying when they don't come up from seed. If nothing else we may all need some therapy.

Oh Tim I am so sorry -- typing too fast again.

It's out of there now but now that you mention it, I really ought to be out in the yard and garden...

Winston - the ECFA does not take away anyone's right to vote privately. The bill is being inadequately - and falsely - described in the television ad.

The CDW is a notorious union bully clearly misrepresenting itself and its intentions.

Been scoping the net. Many references to it having a "card check" voting.

I haven't read the bill, but there a lot of references to the card check

Union bullies? Does Franken or Coleman get most of the union contributions?

I'm not a big believer in pols. But it is interesting.

I'm not a big believe in polls either.

He consistently embarrasses his state.
The man is a buffoon on a scale with gw bush.

I gotta like Jacks chances if it's like this in July.

(happy, happy dance)

According to Joe at MN Campaign Report, Rasmussen is reporting: Coleman 44/Franken 43.

Thanks, Joe!

Looks like the vote wasters are gonna hurt the repubs this time.
Oh happy day.

These would be the people who don't belong to either major party, which is most of us?

"Winston - the ECFA does not take away anyone's right to vote privately. The bill is being inadequately - and falsely - described in the television ad."

Wrong.

" (a) In General- Section 9(c) of the National Labor Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 159(c)) is amended by adding at the end the following:

`(6) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, whenever a petition shall have been filed by an employee or group of employees or any individual or labor organization acting in their behalf alleging that a majority of employees in a unit appropriate for the purposes of collective bargaining wish to be represented by an individual or labor organization for such purposes, the Board shall investigate the petition. If the Board finds that a majority of the employees in a unit appropriate for bargaining has signed valid authorizations designating the individual or labor organization specified in the petition as their bargaining representative and that no other individual or labor organization is currently certified or recognized as the exclusive representative of any of the employees in the unit, the Board shall not direct an election but shall certify the individual or labor organization as the representative described in subsection (a)."

H.R. 800

This takes away the right to a secret ballot and introduces a high level of coercion into the process.


You should really try to quote some more reliable sources. Have you checked the Board of Directors at American Rights At Work?
