Have to say that AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka has been a beacon of light for liberals and our values over the past couple of years, and his speech yesterday skewering republicans and warning Democrats of the union's independence was much needed. There should be consequences for the Ben Nelson's, Mary Landrieu's, and Heath Shuler's of our party.
Still, Digby has a nice piece on what it could mean, and Joan McCarter says a lot of the same things in the piece cited above. If labor unions are going to continue to financially and physically support Dems just because they're Dems they're going to continue to dilute their influence. Need to save the cash and time for those that support the Liberal/Progressive values. And spending more time and money on the grass roots candidates in cities and counties can pay big dividends down the road.
Peace,
