Union Bosses Making a Comeback?

I know John blogged about this a few weeks back, but I wanted to add to it.

If you've been listening to the radio or watching TV in Mississippi the past few weeks, you may get the impression that union bosses are making a comeback. According to Mississippians for Employee Freedom, the latest Republican group to make a splash down here, Ronnie Musgrove is trying to take away your right to vote through big bad union bosses.




That's at least what I heard the first time- as I'm sure many people did.

It's ludicrous to think that "union bosses" are going to take over Mississippi politics. The real culprits are the faceless groups that pump millions of dollars into our state with commercials filled with misinformation like these airing right now.

Just as an FYI to this Employee Freedom group, since apparently they missed something major in their commercial: Ronnie Musgrove is not our current Senator, and though we want him to get elected in November, our current Senator is Roger Wicker, and he's the one who votes on behalf of our state (like when he voted against raising the pay for troops a few weeks ago).

Just another ridiculous stunt...
