The Service Employees International Union has demonstrated a history of blatant "pay-to-play" political tactics. And "pay-to-play" is probably why the SEIU has been at the forefront of promoting ObamaCare, with a "robust" public option.

In 2002, the union spent well over $1 million and worked tirelessly getting Rod Blagojevich elected governor of Illinois. Shortly after he was sworn in, he signed an executive order, allowing SEIU to unionize 20,000 state health care employees.

It was the first such move by any governor on SEIU's behalf. Dozens of campaign contributions from the SEIU to Blogojevich are compiled in a list posted on shopfloor.org, a blog maintained by the National Association of Manufacturers.

In 2000, SEIU worked aggressively to elect Bob Holden governor of Missouri. The reasoning? In the words of "A St. Louis labor activist:"

The state council here used to be headed up by Grant Williams, a former ACORN ...

Fresno home-care providers tell how SEIU staff threatened them and changed their ballots to secure a razor-thin advantage in a controversial union election this June.

Isn't it ironic that Fresno now has a 45%+ Unemployment rate? We all know Unions pull this type of stuff. I am glad to see more citizens speaking up. I bet they didn't know the farmers in their town would have their water turned off within weeks of this Administration taking office.

SEIU bullies these people to voting for Democrats and then used their votes to cripple their town.

I was watching Glenn Beck yesterday and he was pointing out Andy Stern and SEIU and their involvement in getting Obama elected.  I have posted this video before, but I feel it needs to be posted again.  Often times Campaign Contributions are not directly contributed to the person running for office.  In this video you will hear Andy Stern talking about the "War Room" and how they spent 71 Million Dollars getting Obama elected. 

I also feel remorse for anyone who has lost a loved one.  Do you really think Andy Stern's daughter could have been saved with the Health Care bill currently going to the Senate?  Maybe this sick man is using his poor daughter as a tool to get a large Union contract with the Government.  I am sure Andy Stern had all the money in the world to save is daughters life, and a public option or Government Health Care would never have been able to save her.  You know this man has absolutely no morals.

Today's Wall Street Journal and Fresno Bee report that SEIU engaged in illegal threats, ballot-tampering, and other serious violations of election rules during a June union election for 10,000 homecare providers in Fresno, according to voters and union staff who worked for SEIU during the election and have now come forward.

A sworn declaration from an SEIU whistleblower says that senior SEIU officials instructed organizers to violate election rules during the mail-in, secret-ballot vote, and then destroyed evidence of the violations. Statements from two former SEIU staff and several homecare providers were recently submitted to the California Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) as evidence accompanying a request to overturn the election results.

Among the illegal tactics reported:

§  SEIU staff tampered with workers' ballots, by voiding the ballots of workers who marked their ballot for NUHW, and by collecting ballots directly from workers' mailboxes.

§  Senior ...

Do you really want your children to be forced into Union jobs? 72 Million towards getting President Obama elected? Who is really calling the shots, who really wants a public health care option? We need to investigate this "War Room"!
