anti-labor, anti-union, anti-worker, Bill White, General Assembly, HB 42, HB 91, Holly Rehder, missouri, right to get paid less

They’ll get their way. There’s no one to stop them.

Today is the first day of bill filing for the 2017 session of the Missouri General Assembly. Two republican representatives have already filed “right to get paid less” bills:

HB 42  
Specifies that a person cannot be required to become or refrain from becoming a member of or paying dues to a labor organization as a condition or continuation of employment
Sponsor:
White, Bill (161)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2017
LR Number: 0154H.01I
Last Action: 12/01/2016 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 42
Next Hearing: Hearing not scheduled
Calendar: Bill currently not on a House calendar

And:

Holly Rehder (r) [2013 file photo].

HB 91  
Specifies that a person cannot be required to become or refrain from becoming a member of or paying dues to a labor organization as a condition or continuation of employment
Sponsor: Rehder, Holly (148)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2017
LR Number: 0360H.01I
Last Action: 12/01/2016 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 91
Next Hearing: Hearing not scheduled
Calendar: Bill currently not on a House calendar

Working people and the unions that represent them will get screwed yet again.

Previously:

HB 1770: those who voted for your right to get paid less (April 11, 2014)

HB 42: Why do anything productive when you can cater to right wingnut paranoids instead?

Agenda 21, General Assembly, HB 42, missouri, paranoia, right wingnuts

Good question.

HB 42: first, they came for the black helicopters and I did not speak up (December 5, 2012)

[….]

From the Southern Poverty Law Center (March 14, 2012):

….In the world of far-right extremists, Agenda 21 is demonized as a sort of Trojan horse, part of a larger scheme to shatter Americans’ liberties and institute a totalitarian, one-world government known typically as the “New World Order.”

Of course, this bears no relation to the facts. Actually, the U.N. agreement is a rather benign, non-binding plan calling for governments to develop plans to meet current needs for natural resources without threatening the survival of future generations. It was adopted by 178 governments, including the U.S. under President George H.W. Bush, 20 years ago at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.

But to the John Birch Society (JBS), one of the main groups promoting the conspiracy theory about Agenda 21, it represents the end of America as we know it. This is the same group, of course, that claimed President Dwight D. Eisenhower was a secret communist.

In a big win for this big lie, the Republican National Committee (RNC) in January passed a resolution condemning Agenda 21 and calling for policymakers to be made aware of its “destructive strategies for ‘sustainable development.'” The RNC voted to give copies of its resolution to all Republican members of Congress as well as to the party’s presidential and congressional candidates. It also recommended that the anti-Agenda 21 policy be adopted in the party platform at the 2012 convention….

The 2013 session looks like it’s going to be a clown show, consistently supplying new material for John Stewart and Stephen Colbert through May.

“…President Dwight D. Eisenhower was a secret communist…”

I didn’t know that Ike was a secret Communist. It just goes to show…

A bill, perfected by the Missouri House yesterday:

FIRST REGULAR SESSION

[PERFECTED]

HOUSE BILL NO. 42

97TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY

INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE ROWLAND.

0036L.01P        D. ADAM CRUMBLISS, Chief Clerk

AN ACT

To amend chapter 1, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to prohibition on certain policies that infringe on private property rights.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:

           Section A. Chapter 1, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 1.370, to read as follows:

           1.370. 1. As used in this section, “political subdivisions” mean all state, county, incorporated city, unincorporated city, public local entity, public-private partnership, and any other public entity of the state, a county, or city.

           2. The state of Missouri and all political subdivisions shall not adopt or implement policy recommendations that deliberately or inadvertently infringe or restrict private property rights without due process, as may be required by policy recommendations originating in, or traceable to Agenda 21, adopted by the United Nations in 1992 at its Conference on Environment and Development or any other international law or ancillary plan of action that contravenes the Constitution of the United States or the Missouri Constitution.

           3. Since the United Nations has accredited and enlisted numerous nongovernmental and intergovernmental organizations to assist in the implementation of its policies relative to Agenda 21 around the world, the state of Missouri and all political subdivisions are prohibited from entering into any agreement with, expending any sum of money for, receiving funds from, contracting services from, or giving financial aid to those nongovernmental and intergovernmental organizations as defined in Agenda 21.

[emphasis in original]

It’ll probably save time to have this convenient list when the United Nations black helicopters arrive to start moving people to gay marriage FEMA reeducation camps.

“…The 2013 session looks like it’s going to be a clown show, consistently supplying new material for John Stewart and Stephen Colbert through May.”

Yep, called it in December.

Who knew that George H. W. Bush was a dupe of the international Communist conspiracy to to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids?
