Florida Senator files bill to defund public employee unions.
Here we go. I can't cut and paste from the St. Pete Times but here is another example of overreaching by the American Republican Nazi Party.

1. Indianna:: RIGHT TO WORK Bill is to presented for passage
on Friday. Stuart Varney covering for Cavuto, Fox News.

And people say this is not a concerted effort to bust unions.

2. Didn't even have to look to know it came from Satan spawn John Thrasher.
That mass of lobbyist cells is behind nearly every evil backroom deal in this state, including some nasty redistricting shit going down. He literally pits county governments against each other for lolz.

4. He is LIVID that amendments 5 and 6 passed forcing the state to create fair, ungerrymandered
districts. Our Congressional and legislative districts are among the most gerrymandered in the nation right now - hence the huge Republican House and Senate majorities. It may not be 2012. We might have to wait until 2014 because of Republican foot dragging but we'll get our Fair Districts and unions helped make it happen!

6. Let's hope so.
The checks and balances have been removed from this state so it doesn't seem so positive right now. It's just amazing to me how quickly the governor and other repukes thumbed their noses at the PEOPLE's vote!

3. It is coordinated
people better get to the streets... you know we may even say regional, perhaps even... a national strike, they are setting the ground work for that.

7. Heads up, Florida. SB 830, introduced by Jeb Bush operative John Thrasher, to weaken unions.
Link to partial text of bill here.


It is, indeed, a coordinated effort by the same political party, all over the country, to annihilate workers' unions.


Are we ready, Florida?
