Americans for Prosperity, mail, Proposition A, right to get paid less, Right to work, right wingnuts
That is the message in the anti-union Proposition A “right to get paid less” campaign mail strategy of Americans for Prosperity – Missouri.
Proposition A would allow workers who don’t want to pay Union dues for the Union representation in their work place to accrue the benefit of that Union representation without paying their fair share for it.
The “right to get paid less” powers that be keep mailing their anti-worker propaganda to Union households:
Chains? Really? What genius thought of that?
Uh, pro-choice, eh? “Freedom to choose” – they can’t believe we’re all that stupid. Well, yes, they can.
Note the state seal (in the gray background) – “United We…Divided We Fall”. That’s a rationale for collective bargaining.
“Right to work” gives some people the right to sponge off of the resources and hard work of their co-workers.
The diversity in the photo is just knocking the message out of the park. Not.
As if this about workers? This is about right wingnut corporatists who don’t want anyone to pay workers meaningful living wages. Period.
Vote “No” on the anti-Union Proposition A in the August 7th primary.

Americans for Prosperity, mail, missouri, Proposition A, right to get paid less, Right to work, right wingnuts
That appears to be the message in the Proposition A campaign mail strategery of Americans for Prosperity – Missouri.
Proposition A would allow workers who don’t want to pay Union dues for the Union representation in their work place to accrue the benefit of that Union representation without paying their fair share for it.
The “right to get paid less” powers that be keep mailing their anti-worker propaganda to Union households:
Is that model wearing one of those stone washed jackets? Just wondering.
Uh, Unions have regular elections for their leadership. That’s how union members keep their Union leaders “accountable”. How do workers keep their corporate “leaders” accountable? That’s easy. With Union representation.
Vote “No” on the anti-Union Proposition A in the August 7th primary.

Back to Blue, Cass County, Crystal Quade, Democrats, Hallie Thompson, Jessica Podhola, missouri, Nicole Galloway, organized labor, Proposition A, Renee Hoagenson, right to get paid less, Stephen Webber, working people
Last night the Cass County Democratic Committee held it’s “Red, White and Blue Collar Celebration” Back to Blue dinner in Raymore. Approximately 200 individuals attended – meeting candidates and listening to remarks from featured speakers State Audior Nicole Galloway (D), Representative Crystal Quade (D), and Misouri Democratic Party Chair Stephen Webber.
Working people attended in force – opposition to Proposition A – “Right to get paid less” – was a major theme for the evening.
The republican party led dysfunction in Jefferson City was also a major topic of discussion.
Jessica Podhola (D).
“…Words of wisdom…so, uh, don’t work out with the governor. [laughter] Is that not wise advice? [laughter] Sorry. Um, is it too soon, is it too soon to, to say that…?” – Jessica Podhola
Vote “No” on “Right to get paid less” yard sign.
Renee Hoagenson (D), a candidate in the 4th Congressional District.
Hallie Thompson (D), a candidate in the 4th Congressional District.
State Auditor Nicole Galloway (D).
Representative Crystal Quade (D).
“…[the] dark cloud that currently surrounds Jefferson City is something that none of us could of prepared for. Often people down from where I’m from in Greene County will say to me, you know, it must be really hard to be a Democrat in a super minority. And, um, I like to say back to them, you know, there’s no better time to be a Democrat than right now. [….] Democrats didn’t expect such a mess from the Republicans and from their governor. I can tell you they did not expect us. They didn’t expect a group of legislators who were ready to fight back when they brought terrible bills to the floor…” – Crystal Quade
Missouri Democratic Party Chair Stephen Webber.
“…It’s dangerous to believe that progress is the law of life. Gravity is a law. Gravity is a law of life. Gravity is gonna happen. You drop something, it’s gonna fall. That, that’s gonna happen. Progress isn’t. Progress is not inevitable. Progress is not preordained. Progress is not something that just happens with the passage of time. Progress can be reversed. Progress only happens if somebody makes it happen. And in Missouri that somebody is us… ” – Stephen Webber
