Labor Issues in Montana
As Katie mentioned this morning, after very successful voter education efforts in Yellowstone National Park yesterday, in which we signed up citizens for our grassroots network and engaged in some serious policy discussions, we are now moving on to what will promise to be a lively event in Billings, Montana at the Billings Chamber of Commerce.
Issues surrounding organized labor remain contentious in the state as the manufacturing and mining based economy declines. As we've seen so far on this trip, we never know what pulling our bus into town will draw behind in its wake. We've been having and will continue to have constructive discussions on labor and immigration and anticipate these issues, along with the planned energy agenda, will be hot on the minds of Montana's voters.
Stay tuned...the Denver bound bus will be back on the blog after our event this afternoon. And since we are speaking of Denver and labor, as pointed out by the National Review:
Looking over the complete list of speakers at the Democratic convention, I note... that there is not a single businessman, entrepreneur, or private sector innovator speaking in the entire four nights, barring some last-minute addition.
Groups represented include the SEIU, the NEA, AFT, NARAL and Planned Parenthood. But not one representative of any company - just politicians, representatives of unions, and leaders of abortion groups.
