(Welcome back, me! Thanks to Chris for allowing me a chance to post about the Employee Free Choice Act.)
"A firestorm bordering on Armageddon." "Nuclear war." "Ready to riot in the street." "They should be shot." "Pro-slavery."
For more than a year, corporate groups have been spreading lies and misinformation about the Employee Free Choice Act, which would let workers rather then employers decide how they want to organize. They've gone from arguing against this legislation on the merits to, in some cases, all-out doomsday predictions "of the demise of civilization" and equating it to "Radical Islam."
They don't just want Obama to fail. They want working people who want a union to fail -- no matter how large of a majority in their workplace say they want to have a voice on the job. So they're pulling out everything they've got. No exaggeration too outrageous, no distortion too deceiving.
An escalating online organizing effort has already begun. The right-wing has already started mobilizing against the Employee Free Choice Act (get your free Nintendo Wii today!)
