Bob
and Elise Richmond describe the state of the Republican Party in Is this Any Way to Build the Republican
Party?,
The Unionization of the Republican
Party
and CA GOP Chair Could Serve Third
Term.
It is apparent from these articles that the Gasping
Dinosaurs
are reaching out to desperate Republican politicians through use of political
funding to achieve total control over politics in California in order to not
only maintain, but increase union membership. This is occurring, despite the
call for greater union transparency, as seen in Demand for Union Transparency and Choice on
the Rise!
In California, it is apparent the big labor bosses -- along with President Obama
-- are intent on controlling America at all costs (see The Great Pretender Wants Control).
In
Colorado, the tactics utilized by the Colorado Republican Party to prevent
Donald Trump form receiving any Colorado delegates are eerily reminiscent of the
SEIU's Persuasion of
Power!
The article, Colorado GOP Resolution Against
Trump,
describes this in full. It is apparent that the Republican Party was intent on
denying Colorado voters the opportunity to choose their delegate! It would not
be surprising to find that the SEIU, who has a large presence in Denver, and
other unions were involved in this Colorado Republican Party decision, as it is
a swing state the Democrat’s desperately need to control in the general election
this fall.
Obviously
the Republican Party was intent on controlling the delegates to assure their
candidate received all the delegates, which was solidified by the following
tweet:
In
each of these cases, it doesn’t take much imagination to realize that the big
labor bosses do not want a Donald Trump candidacy, nor any candidate like him,
as they want to control the political landscape as well as state and federal
laws in an attempt to reverse their declining membership. It would not be
surprising to learn that Governor Walker backed out of the primary race due to
union tactics and money in his heavily unionized state. It is obvious from the
vast sums the public employee unions are spending on their progressive
political positions that big labor -- and particularly the SEIU -- are padding
politicians' pockets to achieve their goals (see Public employee union spends $28 million on progressive
politics and
$15 Minimum Wage: the Best Government Unions can
Buy).
The SEIU alone spent $225,000,000 in the 2012 Elections, with approximately 99%
going to the Democratic Party. Aside from President Obama being re-elected, the
Democrats went on to lose both houses! Reason enough for the SEIU and other
unions to begin pouring more money into Republican
coffers.
The
State of Indiana Republican Party has gotten it correct in a RTW State, publicly
affirming that all three candidates will have an equal opportunity to receive
the delegate vote:
“Indiana
Republican Party Chairman Jeff Cardwell issued the following statement
describing the Indiana GOP’s delegate process:
“Let
me assure all Hoosiers that your voice will be heard in our primary election on
May 3rd. We look forward to welcoming all three of our presidential
candidates to Indiana to provide them the opportunity to present their vision
for the future of America to our citizens. We encourage everyone to engage in
the process and get out and vote. We strongly believe in the election process
and every vote counts.”
Indiana
has a total of 57 delegates; 27 District Delegates (3 per each congressional
district), 27 At-Large Delegates and 3 Automatic Delegates (2 for our Republican
National Committee (RNC) Members and 1 for our State
Chairman).
All
of our delegates are bound on the first ballot by the results of our Primary
Election.
Here is an example of the allocation of delegates using some of the past
candidates:
If
Congressional District (CD) 6 goes for Gov. Scott Walker, then the three
delegates from that district have to vote for Gov. Scott Walker on the first
ballot. If CD 1 goes for Gov. Jeb Bush, then those three delegates must vote
for Gov. Jeb Bush on the first ballot (and so on).
All
27 at-large delegates represent the state popular vote. If Indiana votes for
Sen. Marco Rubio, then those 27 at-large delegates must vote for Sen. Rubio on
the first ballot.
The
3 automatic delegates vote with the popular vote of the
state.”
Americans
need to realize Labor Unions’ True Motivation comes
from the Dues Money,
and that ultimately the 2016 Election is all about survival for the Big Labor
Bosses and Democratic Party. Unfortunately, it appears the Republican Party in
many areas is caving to the Death by a
Thousand Cuts
campaigns run by the Big Labor bosses (see The Devil at Our
Doorstep, which chronicles a typical union
corporate campaign).
It is time for Americans from both sides of the aisle to wake up and band
together, absent political persuasion, to assure that our political process
remains the voice of all Americans and not politicians indebted to Big Labor
Bosses. We need political parties and politicians who Defend the Constitution
of the United States of America and the future of this great country instead of
bowing to pressure of the big labor bosses, in order to line their own
pockets!
