State Senator Jason Allen R-37th, the bill's primary sponsor has taken the bulk of the criticisms, with those critics citing the union friendly nature of the bill, and the seeming support for forced unionization for the independent health care providers affected.

Allen has consistently denied those claims, stating his intent was merely to provide a mechanism which provided for the safety of the individuals receiving care that is paid for with state monies.  The writing of the original bill unfortunately had input from those with union interests at heart, and that input was incorporated originally, and ultimately inspired the backlash.

So much so, it forced unionization on the unwilling and unsuspecting homeworkers who contract for the state.  Of course even though they resist, they just don't know whats good for them.  A union has benefits!  Being part of a union is being a part of something bigger than yourself right?

Just don't let little details like THEFT and graft get in the way.  Never mind the little rewards by the SEIU and AFSCME to certain elected government officials campaign coffers.  

The union leaders are hell bent on maintaining the power base which they have managed, even in the midst of declining membership in commercial enterprise.  Government membership however is becoming more diseased all the time.  As government jobs increase so does the membership in the very unions which have tried so very hard to mute the voices in America that are contrary to the re distributive schemes of our administration both here and national.  The tea party folks being only the first targets.

It may be a long day.. So while we wait..

Chicken littles are everywhere, just not in their districts meeting with their constituents. The entire New Hampshire congressional delegation has been put on the back of milk cartons. Dennis Cardoza (D-CA) is avoiding his home district entirely during the August recess. Dick Durbin is in the running for the most hypocritical of the chicken littles, as not only is he not doing any townhalls, but is meeting with lobbyists instead. Alan Garyson (D-FL) actually did do a townhall - in a union hall.

Here in Michigan, Democrats such as Bart Stupak and Mark Shauer are just hiding under their desks in their district offices. No townhalls. Unless you count telephone conference lectures from the reps to the constituents a "townhall." It's not.

Last week, a rally was held at the office of Mark Schauer, who is taking some flak for avoiding his constituents like they had the swine flu and he had no immune system. Last week, the Jackson Citizen Patroit had this:U.S. Rep. Mark Schauer's decision not to have town hall meeting fuels plans for rallies.
