The Deep End
My union sent me a big glossy full-color pamphlet, announcing its endorsement of... well, not Barack Obama.
Which makes a lot of sense, right? A union endorsing a corrupt, corporate-owned and anti-union candidate? Why not? MAKES COMPLETE GODDAMN SENSE!
I read the pamphlet anyway, figuring that somewhere in there would be the part where they beg me to remain a member despite their endorsement.
I shouldn't be surprised since my great union responds to every budget cut by turning away defiantly, then bending over, reaching back and spreading our cheeks W-I-D-E.
I need a shot of whiskey.

Speaking of union support and Barak Obama-
When my mother's small, fairly unimportant union went on strike a few years back (when he was still just an Illinois state legislator), he marched with them and bought coffee and bagels for the members of that union and all of their supporters.
He gave a very very interesting speech that day talking about walking "right" and the importance of valuing the American worker and the American family.
The thing that really got me was that there were no cameras, no news reporters and no political hangers-on present, not even a reporter from our small local paper. This was just a man trying to represent the needs and the will of his constituents- and those people were not the board of trustees or the overlords of my mother's company.
I can't see why any union would endorse Hillary when there is a candidate who is so clearly pro-union. Let's just hope that the members of your union can see as clearly on the subject as you have.
At least Obama swept the weekend and things are looking good now. Hopefully your stupid union doesn't matter and he wins despite them.
