When one watches the protest by the SEIU on Monday, one will be seeing:

A.Union
"The current President of SEIU is the former New Leftist Andrew Stern, who advanced to the Union’s top post in 1996 when his predecessor, John Sweeney, became President of the AFL-CIO. At the outset of his tenure with SEIU, Stern told his members that he expected "every leader at every level of this union -- from the international President to the rank-and-file member -- to devote five working days this year to political action."

The union can put 1.8 million workers (Not counting family and Friends) x 5 working days = 9 Million man days to work on electing Democrats. SCARY

"In effect, this was a mandate for those union leaders to work in support of the Democratic Party."
" Stern sits on the Executive Committee of America Coming Together, a Democratic Party auxiliary funded by George Soros. Moreover, SEIU is a major component of the so-called “Shadow Democratic Party,” a nationwide network of more than five-dozen unions, nonprofit activist groups, and think tanks whose agendas are ideologically to the left, and which are engaged in campaigning for the Democrats."
" Designated as a “527 organization” (so named in reference to Section 527 of the U.S. tax code), SEIU is not required to register as a “political organization” with the Federal Election Commission, and consequently may collect as much “soft money” as it wishes, with no limits on how much it may receive from individuals or corporations. This money, in turn, is funneled to Democratic candidates, political action committees, and other “527” groups pursuing similar agendas."

B.Shadow
" The Shadow Party was conceived and organized principally by George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Harold McEwan Ickes -- all identified with the Democratic Party left."

It seems to have started a good discussion here.

2. What's the point of posting this right-wing paranoia?

Oooh lookit, George Soros is the boogeyman, he gave money to MoveOn.

Oooh, Hillary Clinton! I shudder when I say her name, like I'd just said the name of Satan.

Oooh Unions! Those evil bastards WORK for a living. Scary!

3. We're gonna have to start a fund for George Soros.

If that poor man actually funded every group the red ass republickers accuse him of, he can't have a nickel to his name left.
After all the giving, he must be living in a cardboard box on a vent.
