Short video: Yes, it is a Mitt Romney approved video, but the truth of the story told by the owner of St. Louis Paving Company is a valid one irrespective of political party!
The truth is there whether you have Democrat, Republican, Green, Constitution or Libertarian party affiliations. Organized labor has become the party of thugs and bullies.

Wisconsin aftermath
Remember the violent and disgusting demonstrations over Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker doing away with collective bargaining for Teachers unions? The results are in.

Thank you Kathi!
This public employee union boss, who is paid with your tax dollars, actually called folks like you and me “mentally retarded” for working to cut spending.
