Right To Work States Have Lower Unemployment, Higher Income and Healthcare Coverage, NRTW President Says
By Craig Bannister December 12, 2012
History shows that Michigan's citizens will soon be saying that the state's new "Right to Work" law is "a good thing for Michigan," National Right to Work Pres. Mark Mix explains.
In an exclusive interview with "The Right Views," Mix discusses the benefits Michigan will reap by becoming the nation's 24th Right to Work state and explains that the goal is to promote prosperity and individual freedom, not to bust unions:
"First of all, Right to Work is about individual worker freedom. It is wrong to think that, in this country, we could force a worker to pay a private organization for the privilege of working. So, on a fundamental basis, it's about individual freedom." Continue Reading
Not only does Stephen Crowder get sucker-punched by a union thug, but an unknown person yells at him that he has a gun and "I'll kill a motherf*cker with a gun".
All of this violence comes within hours after Michigan State Representative member said on the House floor that "there will be blood". Since then, Teamsters head goon Jimmy Hoffa ramped up the violent rhetoric, saying that there will be "civil war" in Michigan.
Notably, President Obama and the Democrats have been silent on the violence from the left, especially in light of what they have said in the past about the need to "change the tone".
The truth is, they are changing the tone, and they have gotten their marching orders from none other than Barack Obama himself, who has told supporters to "get in their face", and "If they bring a knife to a fight, we bring a gun".
Freedom loving American's need to wake up to exactly what they are facing now. The left is no longer content to wage battle through legislation and in the courts. They are now moving the battle into the streets through the use of violence, intimidation, an anarchist behavior, with the full support of Obama and the leftists in government. The reason Obama isn't speaking up about the violence that is occurring is because he likes it. He approves of it. And he will continue to remain silent until it becomes politically expedient for him to come out and "denounce" it.
His is the behavior of rising dictators throughout history. Obama's not troubled by any of this. He's enjoying it.
Democrats and union leaders are punks! Constantly lecturing us about incivility, or "violent rhetoric", they are masters of failing to heed their own warnings. Their "warnings" are only for conservatives. To their own union buddies and to their leftist supporters they are marching orders. After stating that "there will be blood" on the floor of the Michigan House, if violence does erupt this same vile piece of crap will go out and say, "See! Told you so". In fact, he has given de facto permission to these thugs to go out to do exactly what he thinks they should be doing. Intimidating, verbally and physically, anyone who doesn't support their position. You know, back to the good old days when union thugs would go out and crack a few skulls to get their way.
"There will be blood". Spoken like a good Stalinist!
Democrats threaten violence on Michigan House floor
December 11, 2012 | 11:03 am | Modified: December 11, 2012 at 11:15 am
“There will be blood,” State Representative Douglas Geiss threatened from the floor of the Michigan House of Representatives today as the body debated legislation that would make Michigan the nation’s 24th right to work state. “I really wish we had not gone here,”
Geiss continued. “It is the leadership in this house that has led us here. The same leadership that tried to throw a bomb right on election day, leading to a member switching parties, and came in at the 11th hour with a gotcha bill. For that, I do not see solace, I do not see peace.” Continue Reading

President Obama continued his 2012 election campaign in Redford, Michigan by blasting Right-to-Work bills, saying "The-the-the-the-the these so-called right-to-work laws, they don't have to do with economics. They have everything to do with politics". (Um, genius. The election was over a month ago. You won. Let it go!)
This from the same candidate who, in 2008, called $400B deficits "unpatriotic", and has yet to produce a deficit south of $1 trillion.
Detroit was once known as the "Paris of the West"
He also says that we should look to Michigan to see how unions have "strengthened" the middle class. I agree. Just look what union contracts,with excessive wages/benefits have done to the state of Michigan. Michigan ranks 46th in the nation, behind even Illinois, New York, and the District of Columbia. Detroit is on the verge of bankruptcy, with portions of the city looking like a scene out of Escape from New York. Slums, dilapidated buildings, no street light service in some of the worst areas. In other words, a hell hole. Yes, Mr. President, let's look at Michigan to see what some of these unions and liberal policies have done to once-thriving cities like Detroit. They've destroyed them. They've taken away hope from the people who still live there, and have driven other people leave entirely.
You wanna talk about a liberal utopia? Detroit is it.

By Fred Lucas December 10, 2012
(CNSNews.com) – Speaking at the Daimler Detroit Diesel Plant in Redford, Mich., on Monday, President Barack Obama lashed out at the Michigan legislature, which is preparing to pass a right-to-work law, and declared that Americans only needed to look at Michigan if they wanted to see how unions helped build the middle class.

In an accompanying story, a politically correct local news headline reported that the auditorium was cleared due to a "bounty on the speaker", omitting any reference to Islam. It is not until you get halfway down the page that it is revealed that the bounty is from "islamic terrorists" who have been ordered to "behead" Mr. Saleem.
Michigan: School, police chief shut down talk about sharia law
Posted on February 14, 2012
An opinion letter in the Kalamazoo Gazette, via Public deserved to hear Kamal Saleem talk about Sharia law (letter) | MLive.com.
Part way through a presentation on Shariah law and its potential impact on America earlier this month, former Muslim Kamal Saleem along with an audience of several hundred people gathered at Allegan High School auditorium were asked to leave the grounds by the city’s chief of police.
Against vocal accusations of “violating free speech” and “the right of assembly,” Chief Rick Hoyer faced a crowd of upset tax-paying local citizens in the hallway and justified his actions of breaking up the gathering by citing his concern for the safety of other people and students in the building as he had heard there might be a $25 million reward on the head of the speaker.

Rick Santorum has overtaken Mitt Romney in the race for the GOP primary vote in Michigan, a state long considered a lock for Romney that has become a make-or-break test for his campaign.
New polls from Republican-leaning American Research Group and the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling both give Santorum the lead in Michigan, where Romney grew up and his father was a popular governor. Read More at The Hill
SEIU Now Collecting Dues from Medicaid Payments Meant for Disabled Kids
10:09 AM, Nov 11, 2011 • By MARK HEMINGWAY
There are a number of bizarre schemes unions have used to coerce dues out of public funds. For a long time, I thought the most appalling example was a Michigan scheme where the United Auto Workers and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees held a sham vote-by-mail organizing election that "unionized" Michigan's home daycare providers largely against their will. This allowed them to collect union dues from state chid care subsidies.
However, it turns out there are even worse union scams happening in Michigan right now. Joel Gehrke at the Washington Examiner reports: Read More at The Weekly Standard
