The FEC Turns a Blind Eye to Big Labor's Shady Fundraising Tactics 

In The Washington Examiner, Right to Work President Mark Mix takes on the Federal Election Commission's lax oversight of suspicious Big Labor political fundraising:

Imagine the outcry if McDonalds executives demanded that franchise owners collect “voluntary” contributions totaling $25,000 for the company’s Political Action Committee (PAC) from employees at every restaurant.

What if the fast food titan’s headquarters followed up with a threat - pay us, or face a $37,500 fine? Do you think this heavy handed scheme would raise a few eyebrows at the Federal Election Commission (FEC)?

Replace “McDonalds” with “SEIU” in that description and you’ve got a pretty good idea of Big Labor’s latest political fundraising strategy. To meet their ambitious fundraising targets, Service Employees International Union bosses are now threatening to fine any local affiliate that doesn’t meet its PAC contribution requirements.

Trojan Horse

I wrote this to WorldNetDaily concerning an email from Tom Mix.
Dear Editors:
For me to respond to this letter directly I have to use their reply format so I can't make this reply to them and then cc to you. What I have been thinking is that the organized labor union is the Bolshevik Trojah Horse by which they have been able to indoctrinate our public with their brainwashing doctrine and to draw that thought to your attetion so you can give it a good check out. There is no doubt that the Unions were launched by the Bolshevik and that is does have violent roots.

The truth of the matter is that labor and management are both symbiotic and have a conflict of interest with the employer wanting to get his help as cheap as possible and with his help wanting the best possible wage.

Lu 3:14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

I don't see where this rules out seeking the best employment or the best wage but I think it would rule out using violence, which is what a strike is, to get that wage. There are other verses that apply to the Employer that should be taken into consideration.

1Ch 21:24 And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.

I was after another verse when my search popped this up. Read it carefully and then apply it to our government welfare system.

Mt 20:13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

This is the verse I was looking for.. Contrast it with the union and we see they operate under two different spirits. The employee is no more free under the union system than the employer who is under their demand by the violence of the strike which is coercion. A strike is tantamount to mob rule. However I know it takes and organization to talk to an organization so the worker needs some kind of an organization to negociate this a corporate business where even the ceo is an employee. When fully examined it becomes unavoidable that if the employer cannot be free neither can the employee. This increase in their wages has blinded the employee from the realization that he is bought with a price and can no longer be free to work with the employer for the benefit of both. When the boss was the owner we can negociate directly with him but when the owner is an entity of stockholders it no longer works. So we do need that organization but if it represents the worker it will take the health of the business into consideration and work for the best of both.

Jas 5:1 ¶ Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

In proof readig this the thought came that our welfare system, Social Security and all that has to come under the fraud these verses copndemn because it is takeing our earning out of our hand and the administrators are living high on the hog.

It seems to me these verses describe this administration as well as the unions and some businesses. but it is not in the interest of business to cheat and steal when circumstances are designed to reward the generous. We see selfishniess and self-centeredness in these verses. I don't see selfish and self-centered as being exactyly synonimous. We know you need a demand before you have a customer and that applies to accurate reporting for which I am thankful to have a source. I can allow for some errors for accurate reporting is self-correcting but brainwashing is not. I believe this covers my convictions.
