Here Comes The Union Bus!

Posted on May 1, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

You’d have to be living under a rock not to know the Unions and their multitude of ‘raise the wage’ front groups have been hollering for a minimum wage hike. While the President seems to be talking the talk, his Democratic held Congress led by Harry Reid are not walking the walk. They failed to pass the bill!

So, here comes the bus! A who’s who of the Left in NC is hopping on board. GOODY! The circus is coming to Greensboro and Raleigh.

Moral Monday Moves To Saturday… or Something.

Posted on January 22, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Moral Monday will hold its biggest march ever on a Saturday.

It will, of course, be the biggest EVER! Unions make sure to pad these events well, as I’ve noted their involvement before. Much of the media is complicit; they need to cover up their own connections to Moral Monday and it’s Blueprint NC strategy. Continue reading →
