LTE's from Undergrounders

All I know is, when I refused to join, they simply charged me a 'user fee'.

That user fee still went to support politicians I did not like...

It's shameful.

Yeah, this bullshit needs to stop. There's either a law or some federal labor regulation covering the requirement to pay union dues, and every time we get a Republican administration they either overturn it or add an option where you can opt out of the portion that goes to political bribes contributions (since those always go to the Democratic Party), and every time we get a Democrat they put it back.

I remember they interviewed a person in the union about who she was voting for. They asked her why she was voting for Clinton and she said, "Uh, because my union told me to?"

FWIW, it's the HRA-Republicans that typically push this issue. It's generally opposed systematically by the Democrats.
HB254 was killed, try again in 2 years and pray there is a Restoration.

By the way, see how getting a flood of letters on the same subject will prompt them to print at least one that expresses the sentiments?

I mirrored nearly exactly what you had said....and I'm sure there were a few others too. The paper called to say they'd print mine but I feel they chose yours instead since you signed it with some authority (the research director) so that made it even more plausible.

So now at least the public doesn't have to listen to Cyr's craziness without hearing 'the rest of the story'.
(And let's hope Cyr read it too)

I don't think they printed mine -- the webpage it appears on says all the LTEs on that page are web-only :|

I thought that is what you had submitted it for....so you think mine might have appeared in the paper edition? Uh oh -- this means I'll probably have 10 stalkers now....LOL

I just got rid of one from a letter I wrote last year. I sent him a copy of the NH Constitution -- my last one -- and that shut him up good.

In your article "Browns shake up entourage," you mentioned me and said I am at odds with tax protester Ed Brown because I hold pacifist views.   This is not accurate; like most Americans I support and practice self defense.   What I oppose is revenge violence directed against our government *and* government violence directed against our neighbors - the Browns.   

In your article you also detail other conflicts Brown has had with his supporters.  To say that Ed often pushes allies away...that *is* accurate.  So maybe we should ask ourselves...if a man so difficult, so objectionable...is able to:

- draw hundreds of supporters to his house over a six month period (300+ in one day)
- mobilize activists nationwide, by the tens of thousands
- flood the non-emergency phone lines of nearly every bureaucracy connected to the case and
- remain free on his own property in defiance of a nuclear Empire

...what would a *likeable* version of Ed Brown be able to accomplish?   What will Washington do when they are faced with an Ed Brown who treats supporters well...and gets ten times as many of them?    What will it do when there are five Ed Browns?   

And what puts such a fury into a People, that they are willing to rally around so flawed a man, simply because he draws a line in the sand against Washington?  What evils must a government commit, that it breathe such defiance among its citizens, that they cleave to any symbol of resistance, no matter how imperfect?

Both sides of this argument seem to be right.  Washington should be cutting social programs.  And it should be cutting the Department of Offense.  Ideally it should cut them all to zero and disband, like the British did in India.  Someday its overspending will force it to do just that.

Every dime DC spends is stolen from us and our offspring.  Every program they fund is parasitical...this American political class who rules over 300 million people with an iron hand.
