Congress introduces Employee Free Choice Act!

Quick reminder: The Employee Free Choice Act is the reason us Progressives were ready to fight the all-in good fight for this person below.

The Employee Free Choice Act was introduced in Congress today and members of the Corportocracy Elite are deathly upset.  This includes virtually all conservative members of Congress on both sides of the aisle. Bernard Marcus, former CEO of Home Depot, is so upset about the Employee Free Choice act that in a conference call with other Corportocracy Royalists called this legislation the "demise of civilization!"  Don't believe me?  I even have the audio below.
Bernie Marcus claims the Employee Free Choice Act will be the demise of civilization as we know it

According to Bernie Marcus, former CEO of Home Depot, if employees in a workplace were able to unionize without employer intimidation (being fired)--it would result in the end of the world. The Corpotocracy Royalists call the Employee Free Choice Act, "card check."  John Ensign (R-NV) just twittered this:
JohnEnsign Democrats introduced the Employee "No" Choice Act today.  I will not rest until card check is dead. http://is.gd/mOE7
I'd like to take this opportunity to offer a comforting hug to conservatives who are shaking in their pajamas.  And then give a swift metaphorical kick in the shin for continuing the Reagan-initiated War on Unions to crack down on workers' rights in the workplace. Seriously, it's time to fight the good fight--and we're in a damn good place to start.  In the next coming days, I'll also do a play-by-play analysis on how to win the water cooler wars regarding the Employee Free Choice Act.  I'll let you know right now that Democrats are not winning it. Here's a good place to start: Full Text of the Employee Free Choice Act President Obama on the Employee Free Choice Act: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4qF213IceI[/youtube] Rachel Maddow on the Employee Free Choice Act: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50H3II6MxbQ[/youtube] If the comments to this post desires, I can write a whole series on the War on Unions or the Employee Free Choice Act. Look forward to my next post!  Good luck!
