    Exclamation Union/DNC "Fusion Voting Schemes" Exposed

    Unions utilize FUSION VOTING to establish a huge presence for the Democrats base of vote to attain seats for their elected - but it is a huge error in the voting booth, because it does not allow a Republican or Democrat Union worker to REALLY vote for who they want to. That ability and constitutional privledge is quiety eliminated wthin the Unions ploy of FUSION VOTING. Read more here:

    The Full Story



    The New Face of the Unions: The Working Families Party deception
    in the American workplace



    By Will Fine, Executive Director National Alliance for Worker and Employer Rights

    A new specter is hanging over America put there and espoused by the Labor unions and their fearful minions. The specter is an idea that unions wish to spread to every corner of the nation. That idea is a nation wide party that is the labor unions in disguise. That disguise is called fusion voting. Despite the disguise unions feel secure they can show their true face in a new kind of socialism.
    Fusion voting is that new face of socialism and it does aid the unions in grabbing power away from the American people. Imagine the upcoming presidential election in 08 the unions enter the election with their “line” of issues. The unions get all their members to vote for their union line and this % is known to each candidate and each candidate is held accountable to that union line. If we have a close election “Fusion voting” could be difference between winning and loosing…? Pro-Fusion Voters point to the election of Hillary Clinton and John F. Kennedy as examples that WFP/Labor union movement can be the decisive swing vote in important elections. New York has been ground zero and the model for the WFP/Labor union movement in other states. Working Families Party has consistently proved itself a tool for the unions getting what they want from the Democrats. Unions do this in two ways : 1) Different lines in fusion voting can be combined in the vote total if the issues match between third parties greatly increasing labor’s power over candidates if they so choose. This combining of lines takes place because fusion voting also permits more than one third party to nominate the same candidate this is called “Cross Endorsement” Ultimately, cross endorsement of one candidate across all third parties leads to a totality of vote combining all issue lines. 2) The unions have become expert in drawing together coalitions and networks in the states that consist of community leaders and labor union bosses controlling these coalitions in order to draw different fusion voting “lines” together and magnify their punch for their candidate.

    Grover Norquist's $650k Grant to the "National Alliance"
    By mrs panstreppon

    According to its 2004 990 filed with the IRS, Grover Norquist's Americans For Tax Reform (ATR) made a $650k grant to the "National Alliance" at 10424 Woodbury Woods Court, Fairfax, VA. Total ATR grants in 2004 were $820k so the National Alliance one was a big deal.

    I first wrote about Grover Norquist, ATR and the ATR Foundation in the TPM Cafe in November 2005. A glaring error in ATR's 990 is a reported $6.5 million receivable due from the ATR Foundation. The ATR Foundation does not have wherewithal to pay the debt so the receivable is worthless. I assume Grover Norquist benefits financially from this screwy accounting in some way.

    I learned that William A. Wilson, a conservative activist, lives at 10424 Woodbury Woods Court in Fairfax but I did not find an organization named the "National Alliance". Recently, another member of the TPM Cafe wrote to me and identified the National Alliance For Worker and Employer Rights (NAWER) as the probable recipient of the $650k grant.

    NAWER was registered in Virginia in September 2004. Richard Quinn Jr. is the chairman and William A. Wilson is the treasurer. The NAWER Foundation was registered in December 2005.

    NAWER is intent on "bringing dignity and the promise of freedom back to the Workers and Employers ending the tyranny of the Unions by protecting Business growth and Employee rights" i.e. unionbusting. A specific goal is the passage of the "Secret Ballot Election Act" which would end open enrollment by unions.

    No one would be surprised that Grover Norquist is anti-union but ATR maintains the Alliance For Workers Freedom, ATR's anti-union special project, so why did Norquist fund NAWER to the tune of $650k?

    NAWER's website was registered by David Kralik, Manager of Internet Programs and Web Content Editor for the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). Kralik previously worked for Grover Norquist and Newt Gingrich. NAM is the largest industry trade association in the US and has never been accused of being pro-union.

    According to NAWER, it is prohibited from accepting contributions from corporations and foreign nationals. NAWER states that it is illegal to one person to reimburse another for a contribution to a political campaign. But Americans For Tax Reform can accept corporate contributions. Did Grover Norquist accept a $650K corporate contribution designated to be passed on to NAWER?

    Richard Quinn, Jr., NAWER chairman, probably is Richard M. Quinn Jr., son of Richard M. Quinn who is John McCain's controversial political consultant in South Carolina. Quinn, a former partner of Lee Atwater, owns Richard M. Quinn & Associates and founded Southern Partisan, a controversial pro-Confederate magazine.

    Richard M. Quinn Jr. was a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives for fourteen years and majority leader for six years. In 2004, he lost a primary in a big upset. Quinn Jr. now is a candidate in the South Carolina treasurer's primary race and has been endorsed by McCain. The primary will be held on June 16.

    Richard Quinn & Associates is managing Quinn Jr.'s campaign. Mail Marketing Strategies, owned by Quinn Jr. also is being paid by Quinn Jr.'s campaign.

    William A. Wilson, NAWER treasurer, is the owner of Associated Public Affairs Professionals, a consulting firm which was paid $15k by Gary Bauer's campaign in 2000. Wilson is associated with numerous conservative organizations. Here's a partial list:

    US Term Limits
    US Term Limits Foundation
    Term Limits America PAC
    America At Its Best
    Council For Responsible Government
    Parents In Charge (formerly Legislative Action Drive)
    SocialSecurityChoice.org
    SocialSecurityChoice.org Foundation

    William Fine signs off as Executive Director of NAWER on various press releases and online postings but I could not find any biographical information about him.

    As far as I know, NAWER is not registered anywhere as a political organization so I don't know why it can't accept corporate contributions. Nor do I know if NAWER is required to report to any governmental oversight agency. I'd sure be interested in taking a look at its finances.

    Grover Norquist is not known for throwing his own money around, that's for sure.

    Grover Glenn Norquist (born October 19, 1956) is the president of the noted anti-tax lobbying group Americans for Tax Reform, and a well-connected conservative activist with close ties to business and the media. His close business and political ties to recently indicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff are the subject of a current federal investigation. wikipedia.com

    You seem to be moving in the direction of the Chattahoochee River Boy (1964) with some outlandish claims.

    So what? We have a global economy now and competition from non-union enterprises overseas. The union movement is not going to help us in this new age. It is reality and it's here right now.
    "One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."--Carl Sagan

    It's amazing! Some people get the accusations and facts right up in their faces and they still ignore Union Corruption. Not my problem, I'm smarter than to work in a Union and let someone else decide what I make, and who I vote for.

    Ha!

    Hey, Mr. Fascist. I must assume you are a big supporter of business corruption and theft. You don't seem to harp on it.

    The above list looks like the RAP SHEET employees, hourly and salary commit upon businesses every year. Add in the fake sick days, taking stuff the business bought home for your own use and shop lifting that goes on, American businesses lose over 100 billion dollars a year to these activities ...mostly by their employees.

    I am pro-small-business and support the capitalist free market economy we have probably 10x more than you do. I am self employed...

    Ken Lay isn't my father but if he was, I could not defend his manipulative practices.... as probably 99.9% of America beleives as well. Enron was not the only huge business scam, the Democratic supported Worldcom and several others made Enrons scam look like a dwarf, but you forgot about them right?

    Worldcom worse than Enron

    The WALL STREET JOURNAL calls the WorldCom scandal "the biggest accounting scam ever." The fraud at WorldCom ultimately topped $11 billion and led to the country's biggest bankruptcy filing, in July 2002. Nearly 17,000 employees lost their jobs as a result of the scheme to bury expenses and inflate revenue, according to a probation report.

    On July 13, 2005, WorldCom former Chief Executive Bernard Ebbers was sentenced to 25 years in prison for his role in orchestrating the biggest corporate fraud in the nation's history. The Ashburn company has since emerged from bankruptcy protection and renamed itself MCI Inc. In 2003, Ebbers agreed to pay $5.5 million cash and to hand over his Clinton, Miss., mansion and other assets worth as much as $40 million to resolve claims filed by WorldCom shareholders who lost billions of dollars when the company collapsed.

    In August 2005, former WorldCom accountant Betty Vinson was sentenced to five months in prison and five months house arrest. She had pleaded guilty to one count of securities fraud and one count of conspiracy and had testified at Ebbers' trial. Other former WorldCom staffers pleaded guilty and testified at the trial. Controller David Myers, director of general accounting Buford Yates Jr., and director of legal entity accounting Troy Norman will also be sentenced in August 2005.

    WorldCom filed for bankruptcy in July 2002 and the company emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2004 with a new name, MCI. The SEC accepted a fine from WorldCom of $500 million in cash and $250 million in stock.

    Well Mr. Fascist, that list is form the legal code and it refers to business.
    Since you spend so much time attacking workers and not addressing bad business practices which must be added to the legal code, one can only assume that find those business practices acceptable in spite of your protestations.
