Big Government

by LaborUnionReport


Here is a prediction: Across the country, there will be races that some candidates will lose even though poll numbers, right now, indicate otherwise.


As you read this, at present, you should know that there are only seemingly disconnected anecdotal dots that are starting to connect. However, if the dots do fully connect, we may not know until well after the November 2nd election if, in fact, America’s democratic election process will have become the victim of the biggest fraud in our nation’s history. What’s worse, with early voting beginning this week in many states, it may already be too late to do anything about it.

In order to break this down, here are the disconnected dots that are detailed below:

  • First Dot: The SOS Project
  • Second Dot: The SEIU’s Shenanigans
  • Third Dot: 11 Million Illegal Immigrants
  • Fourth Dot: The Fake ID Industry & Meg Whitman
  • Fifth Dot: Voter Registration
  • Sixth Dot: Union GOTV Strategies
  • Seventh Dot: Early Voting
  • Connecting the Dots


First Dot: The SOS Project

In 2005, shortly after George Bush won re-election, angry billionaire George Soros, along with the SEIU and others, founded the Secretary of State Project (or SOS) ”to provide an easy-to-use, low-cost vehicle for online donations to reform-minded Secretary of State candidates and incumbents
in key battleground states.”


As Conservative Outlooks writer Carol Greenberg points out:

The Secretary of State is the chief elections official in each state, so he/she is responsible for the conduct of elections and establishment of election day rules. A position and role mostly unknown by the majority of citizens in this country before the 2000 election. Someone of great wealth recognized the power of the Secretaries of State. The power to ultimately decide, perhaps by manipulating and interpreting state election law partisanly, to place their chosen candidate into office.

In the last five years of its existence, the SOS Project has been successful in getting nine out of 11 “progressive” secretaries of state elected. This includes Minnesota’s Mark Ritchie who oversaw the 2008-09 ballot recount* between Democrat Al Franken and Republican Norm Coleman. [Here
are the races Soros' SOS Project is active in for November.]


* In July 2010, an 18-month study by Minnesota Majority determined that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul voted illegally.  Franken beat Coleman by 312 votes. Claims that Franken, Soros and Ritchie stole the election have been ignored.


Second Dot: The SEIU’s Shenanigans

Over the past few months, as Democrats and their union bosses have seen their mid-term election prospects dim significantly, there have been separate incidents involving what appears to be a manipulation of the electoral system occurring all over the country that all have one common denominator—they involve persons connected to the SEIU.

Third Dot: Nearly 11 Million Illegal Immigrants.

According the most recent data published by the Department of Homeland Security (assuming it can be believed), there were an estimated 10.8 million illegal immigrants in the United States, as of 2009.

It is widely known that Big Labor bosses (most notably the SEIU, but most others as well) are fighting to get “immigration reform” legislation passed so that 1) they can unionize many of these workers and 2) they can turn them into “progressive voters.”


Fourth Dot: The Fake ID Industry & Meg Whitman

In the past few years, there have been some high profile ICE raids on companies that have allegedly hired illegal immigrants. In the vast majority of these cases, although the workers were in the country illegally, they were hired by companies who were following the Catch-22 system that is the law.  Here’s how:

All U.S. employers must complete and retain a Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States. This includes citizens and noncitizens. On the form, the employer must examine the employment eligibility and identity document(s) an employee presents to determine whether the document(s) reasonably appear to be genuine and relate to the individualand record the document information on the Form I-9. The list of
acceptable documents can be found on the last page of the form.
[Download the form (in PDF) here.]

[On page five of the I-9 form are the types of ID that are acceptable for employment.  The most common forms used are social security cards and driver's licenses.]

  • The Fake ID Industry. Both inside and outside the U.S. are underground businesses that supply false identifications to people, mostly illegal immigrants.  In fact, a quick search of the
    internet reveals a number of websites (several outside the U.S.) where people can order fake IDs.  There is even one website that provides a review of other fake ID websites. With enough money, anyone can have more fake IDs than Jason Bourne. With fake ID in hand, any illegal immigrant is automatically employable in the United States, as California’s gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has discovered.
  • Catch-22 & the Fake Whitman Controversy. Over the past week, the ginned-up controversy surrounding California’s Meg Whitman’s hiring of an illegal made immigrant has been used as campaign fodder by Democrats and unions (including a $5 million SEIU ad buyon Spanish TV) attempting to tarnish Whitman. However, one extremely important point that is getting brushed aside is the fact that Whitman’s $23 per hour housekeeper had used her fake ID to acquire her job. Further, as noted (at 1:20) in Fox’s Meghan Kelly’s interview of Gloria Alred (the housekeeper’s attorney), Whitman herself could have been charged with discriminating  against Diaz if she questioned the validity of Diaz’s fake documents.

According to the same San Francisco article Meghan Kelly quoted from [emphasis added]:

“There is no additional legal obligation for an employer to follow up or respond to SSA with new information,” said Gening Liao, a labor and employment attorney at the National Immigration Law Center in Los Angeles, which defends immigrants.Liao added that it is “very important that the employer does not take adverse action against the employee” merely based on a letter from Social Security. Nor was Diaz under any obligation to pursue the matter, Liao said. Correcting a mismatch is “primarily for the benefit of the employee,” she said, to make sure they can collect all the benefits due them for their work. The attorney for Diaz Santillan has not said whether the Whitmans’former housekeeper received a mismatch notice. Social Security’s notice
to employees says the letter “does not, in and of itself, allow your employer to change your job, lay you off, fire you or take other action against you.” Had Whitman questioned Diaz’s legal status after Diaz presented documents when she was hired, Whitman again would have exposed herself to discrimination violations. “Not only is (accepting the documents) all the law required her to do, but there’s a counterbalancing anti-discrimination law that keeps her from probing further or demanding different documents,” said Crystal Williams, executive director of the American Immigration Lawyers Association in Washington.

Fifth Dot: Voter Registration


As we saw in 2008 with ACORN, registering to vote in most states is extraordinarily easy. So easy, in fact, that if someone who wasn’t in this country legally, but had a fake ID and wanted to register to vote, they could do so without difficulty in nearly every state.  In most states, all one needs is a photo ID. In some states, if persons wanted to vote on election day, but didn’t have ID, all they would need is someone to vouch for them at the polls.


In a very informal sample survey done in the last 24 hours of people in different states across the country who were asked to call their nearest registrar’s office to ask what is needed in the form of ID, the results were rather frightening. Here are just a few:

From Ohio:

According to “Lynn” at the County Board of Elections you need one of the following to vote: Valid Oh driver’s license, OH ID card, military ID card, govt. ID c ard, bank statement, government check or utility bill. In other words, no picture ID required.

From North Carolina:

I asked what was necessary (what type of ID) to register to vote.  I didn’t specifically ask if they “verify” ID. Here is what I was told.  You need a form of ID with your address on it.  It can be a driver’s license or utility bill.  I asked if a photo ID was required and was told it was preferred, but she didn’t think it was required.

From Illinois:

In Illinois, voter registrars are SUPPOSED to request 2 pieces of identification from the potential voter including at least 1 with their address.  There is no check for citizenship other than asking the voter if they are a citizen.  That leaves the onus upon the person doing the registration.  Since most labor unions can automatically acquire registrar status, this doesn’t help much.

From Pennsylvania:

Have a stack of PA mail-in voter registration forms in front of me – no ID verification, notarization, anything, except for the usual warnings about penalty of perjury, etc.

Also, the county elections office handed 100 or so of them to me, like they were candy.

From Minnesota:

MN Driver’s license or learners permit

Tribal ID

Or better yet, an employee of a statutorially defined ‘residential facility’ (such as a nursing home, battered women’s shelter, etc) can vouch for an unlimited number of residents. Gory details here:  http://www.sos.state.mn.us/index.aspx?page=1181

And you’re just gonna love this one: Voter Voucher: Voucher by another voter of the same precinct — may vouch for a limit of 15 voters – oath of a pre-registered voter in the same precinct or of a voter who registers in the same precinct on election day with one of the other authorized proofs of residence. A voter who is vouched for cannot vouch for another voter.


Yep, you read that right. In the state of MN, I can walk into the polling place on Election Day, register to vote, bring along 15 of my friends and as long as I ‘vouch’ for them being legal residents, they are allowed to vote.
From Wisconsin:
Voters register at the Secretary of State’s Office  or City Clerk which is where they provide documentation that they are able to vote. They are then put in the Poll Books.

When someone comes in to vote, they must show a Photo I.D. If they do not have a photo I.D. (driver’s license; State I.D. Card), they must sign an affidavit that they do not have a photo I.D.  and are then allowed to vote.

From California:

I just took the GOP poll watcher course.  No ID is required in CA to register to vote.  No ID is required in CA when you appear at the polls to vote (I tested this myself last time in the primary) I did not offer an ID and none was requested of me before I got my ballot.  No ID required indeed. Every political office (like campaigns) in CA has hundreds of voter registration forms about.  Fill one out and mail it in and you are good to go.

Just by the responses from the above informal sampling, it would appear that, in most cases, if someone has a photo ID—real or not—almost anyone can register to vote.


Sixth Dot: Union GOTV Strategies

Over the last year, unions have been planning their election strategy to create “firewall” states by spending hundreds of millions to turn voters out in November.  In addition to the unions, the DNC’s Organizing for America has been conducting voter registration drives for the last few months.


In August, the SEIU and California Teachers Association announced a voter registration drive that raised little attention when it was announced, but requires a closer look [emphasis added]:

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) California, the California Teachers Association (CTA) and Latino leaders announced a major statewide marketing campaign, “Por Nuestras Familias – Todos a Votar!,” aiming to register thousands of new Latino voters and boost November’s Latino election turnout by signing up Latinos as new, permanent absentee (PAV) voters.


At a news conference in Los Angeles’ historic Placita Olvera last week, Eliseo Medina, International Executive Vice President of SEIU and David Sanchez, President of the California Teachers Association announced that they will embark on the 9- city “Por Nuestras Familias – Todos a Votar!” bus tour beginning August 14, with the goal of
reinvigorating Latino voter participation and empowering those who do not regularly cast their ballot on election day. The campaign will provide non-registered Latino voters the tools they need to vote and generate motivation among all Latino constituents through a permanent absentee application drive.

Seventh Dot: Early Voting & Election Day

This week, in many states across the U.S. early voting begins.  This means that ballots may be being sent in from persons who have no legal right to vote, but who are voting anyway.


 [For the early voting dates for each state, go to the Concord Project's state pages and select a state.]



A couple of days ago, we received an anonymous tip from someone who had visited an SEIU office in Arizona and discovered that the union had allegedly registered more than 20,000 voters and was planning ‘early voting rallies.’


In fact, according to the SEIU-backed group One Arizona’s FaceBook page, their first “early voting rally” is on October 7th, the first day early voting begins.


Then, on October 16th, the group has planned a big ‘early voting rally‘ called ¡AYER MARCHAMOS – AHORA VOTAMOS! (or YESTERDAY WE MARCHED – TODAY WE VOTE!)


The group’s object in holding this rally is apparently to have pro-immigration reform Latinos bring their ballots to mark them ‘together.’


The tactic itself is an old union tactic when mail-in ballots are conducted during union organizing campaigns and the purpose is very simple: To get the voters to vote the right way by doing it together. 


 In this case, however, there appears to be more than meets the eye, especially if some of the attendees are in the U.S. unlawfully, but are still encouraged to vote. It wouldn’t be the first time, as this video shows.


Connecting the Dots:

As stated at the beginning of this post, there are seemingly disconnected dots that, when put together, leads one to believe that there could be something untoward occurring right now.  Unfortunately, there is little that can be done other than for average Americans to work harder to get more people to the polls on November 2nd.  And, if any fraud is discovered, with George Soros’ secretaries of state in office, in certain states, it is questionable whether anything will come of it.


As a result, if Americans don’t get more people to the polls, it is suspected that candidates will lose races where, right now, the poll numbers appear to have them leading.



As we’ve been saying for months, November’s election outcome will be dependent on voter turnout. The unions and their allies have had their plans in place for months. There is less than a month to go.GOTV.

  • Obama’s Rule by Decree to Begin in 2011?


    “As President Obama remakes his senior staff, he is also shaping a new approach for the second half of his term: to advance his agenda through executive actions he can take on his own, rather than pushing plans through an increasingly hostile Congress.”

    http://floydreports.com/?p=2425

    Obama’s Rule by Decree to Begin in 2011? Floyd Reports Ben Johnson
    10/8/10

    This morning, political commentators are paying a great deal of attention to one of the Los Angeles Times’ stories about Barack Obama’s plans for a Republican takeover of Congress. Unfortunately, they are focusing on the wrong one. Most commentators spent the morning quoting the president’s remarks on a black radio program that a GOP-dominated Congress will result in “hand-to-hand combat.” The reality is most of the action will take place behind their backs and over their heads. All indications are, if Obama cannot get his legislative agenda enacted by Congress, he will impose it by decree.

    The evidence comes buried elsewhere in today’s L.A. Times in a piece by Peter Nicholas and Christi Parsons under the hum-drum headline, “Obama Reshapes Administration for a Fresh Strategy.” The story makes clear the “fresh strategy” borders on government by executive fiat. It begins, “As President Obama remakes his senior staff, he is also shaping a new approach for the second half of his term: to advance his agenda through executive actions he can take on his own, rather than pushing plans through an increasingly hostile Congress.” This rule by divine right of kings is confirmed by no less an Obama insider than David Axelrod, who said, “It’s fair to say that the next phase is going to be less about legislative action than it is about managing the change that we’ve brought.” The Times states candidly:


    So the best arena for Obama to execute his plans may be his own branch of government. That means more executive orders, more use of the bully pulpit, and more deployment of his ample regulatory powers and the wide-ranging rulemaking authority of his Cabinet members. (Emphases added.)


    Nicholas and Parsons note how the president has replaced the few appointees with ties to Capitol Hill in place of Chicago insiders. They specifically state the “the Environmental Protection Agency is determined to use its regulatory power…to begin lowering [carbon] emissions, in the absence of congressional action.” In 2007, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision that the EPA could regulate carbon dioxide emissions under the Clean Air Act, although the act did not have these “pollutants” in mind. Seizing on this ruling, an anonymous insider who “was not authorized to speak publicly” told the Times, “The ambition is to get a reasonable start” on implementing his extremist vision.

    The plan fulfills a threat Obama made earlier this year. The Associated Press reported in June, “The Obama administration says it would prefer that Congress enact climate change legislation, but has used the threat of EPA regulations to goad lawmakers into action.” Within the last week, Congressional Republicans have called the regulations job-killers, and Democratic Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia has sponsored a two-year freeze on certain EPA regulations. Now it looks as though the president will run roughshod over Rockefeller, the Republicans, and the will of the American people.

    More concerning than the aims to which Obama plans to use unfettered executive fiat power is the circumvention of Congress, and the Constitution, in the first place. William Galston of the Brookings Institution took the LAT Obama will employ this strategy even if Republicans do not take back either House of Congress. “Whether or not the Republicans take over majorities in one or both houses, the margins will be so much narrower that the strategy of putting together a Democratic bill and picking off a handful of Republicans to push it over the top won’t be viable anymore,” he said.

    Rather than triangulate, repackage his radicalism, or take an electoral chastening, Obama plans to ram his agenda down the American people’s throats “by any means necessary.”

    What will this agenda look like? In part, it is already in place. On illegal immigration, the president has already excluded Congress, several states, and the overwhelming majority of the American people to aggressively promote an Open Borders agenda. A U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services draft memo that surfaced this summer contemplated ways to enact “meaningful immigration reform absent legislative action.” Shortly thereafter, an ICE draft memo appeared, instructing all law enforcement – including any “state, local, or tribal officer” – that no one “should not issue detainers against an alien charged only with a traffic-related misdemeanor.” Traffic stops have been one of the most fruitful ways of finding and deporting illegal aliens and make up the heart of Arizona’s S.B. 1070, allowing state and local law enforcement agencies to exercise their federally delegated power in arresting illegal immigrants.

    When the Obama administration is not making law, it is busy ignoring it. The New York Times reported that the government simply stopped deporting young illegal aliens this summer – an exemption that applies to 726,000 people – because they may be eligible for the DREAM Act, which Congress has not yet passed (and probably never will). The administration began dismissing virtually all cases against illegals who had not committed any violent crime, letting a potential 17,000 illegals off-the-hook. Janet Napolitano’s Department of Homeland Security seems to have let a Congressionally mandated program to assure visa recipients leave the country slide – although overstays are the entry point for 40-45 percent of all illegal immigrants in the United States. That is how six of the 9/11 hijackers entered the country. Although Congress supports enforcement, the administration has simply shut down their requests.

    Obama has unilaterally decided not to apply equal rights to disenfranchised white voters, dropping all such lawsuits targeting minority organizations. DoJ appointee Julie Fernandez said, “the Obama administration was only interested in bringing…cases that would provide political equality for racial and language minority voters.” Two former, high-ranking DoJ voting rights lawyers have testified the racist arrangement is an official government policy.

    The Obama administration has already begun to entertain aspects of the Green Left’s agenda, a trend it will increase in the second half of its first (and, we hope, only) term. The EPA considered, then rejected, banning fishing gear and traditional bullets this summer. Obama has taken steps toward nationalizing millions of acres of land in the American West. In July, the president established the National Ocean Council, staffed with 27 members, by decree. Rep. Sam Farr boasted at the time, “We already have a Clean Air Act and a Clean Water Act. With today’s executive order, President Obama in effect creates a Clean Ocean Act.” Some have written this panel will implement the never-ratified UN Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST).

    The danger is not merely that the president will enact legislation with the stroke of a pen, like Caesar. It appears likely he will accelerate his trend to pre-empt domestic political questions before the United Nations. I was the first reporter to discover that Obama hauled Arizona before the UN Human Rights Council this summer over the state’s aforementioned immigration law. Last week, the UN’s Global Migration Group issued a new report blasting opponents of Open Borders and welfare for illegal aliens as “xenophobes and racists.” Now, the Justice Department has solicited 11 Latin American nations to weigh in on its lawsuit stating the Arizona law violates the U.S. Constitution – as though any of the parties would know or care. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer called the foreign intervention “incredibly offensive,” adding, “American sovereignty begins in the U.S. Constitution and at the border.”

    The Obama administration has already rendered one of these moot and is now working to undermine the other. He has appointed two Supreme Court justices who believe in supplanting the U.S. Constitution with foreign law.

    Obama used the same UN report to push a far-Left agenda (including card-check union organization, bilingual ballots, universal preschool, and gays in the military) under the guise of “human rights.” He likewise extended benefits to the same-sex “partners” of some federal employees in advance of a Congressional bill to do the same.

    Where does the president derive these dictatorial powers? Simple: he claims them. Article II of the U.S. Constitution delegates to the president only the powers to act as commander-in-chief of the military, grant pardons, make treaties (which must be approved by the Senate), appoint ambassadors and Supreme Court justices, and give the State of the Union address.

    And, if necessary, the “right” to be impeached.

    If a system of unelected, sometimes unconfirmed czars does not violate the Constitution, the assumption of imperial powers by the executive branch should.

    Barack Obama is dedicated to use whatever time he has in office forcing as much of his agenda on the United States – and so transforming the economic and electoral make-up of our nation – that his radical vision can be foisted upon Americans as a fait accompli.

    Many Americans believed the velvet words of hope and change during the 2008 campaign. If the thuggishness of the past two years has not convinced them of his disregard for popular will, the U.S. Constitution, and the rule of law, two years of radical, royal decrees may.

    If Congressional Republicans do their jobs in 2011, Obama may not fill out two more years in office.
    • Obama has already been doing this, just without being caught at it, with the fanfare to it, already. That's how several of his appointees have been placed without Congressional approval, or even discussion by Congress about their appointments. And he's working on doing it with illegal invaders {the ones he euphemistically calls immigrants} as well, since he's having so much trouble getting his "reforms" through Congress on that too. He's also done it with cap and trade in the northeastern corridor, and planning to slip it past the rest of us that way as well. There's NOTHING this usurper will stop at to get his way!
  • Rioting by obamites on Nov. 2nd, martial law Nov.3rd, U.N, in command
  • One huge reason Unions are so powerful is that they have been working for this nation wide control since the early 1920's and all, every damn one has its ancestry in the Marxist Movement of that period. They are all Communist and must be eradicated like the VERMIN they are.

    I will admit that there have been some things that the UNION's have accomplish, like the Child Labor Laws, Their goal, however, has always been to control all people and all things. Toward that end they are nation wide and represent every kind of labor group, from Teachers to Auto Makers and everything in between. They should be limited to that of an individual SHOP UNION, and not allowed to coordinate or organize outside of that individule Shop. The Truckers Union and others tried to shut down our ability to wage war in WWII when Russia Joined with Hitler's Germany. This true history and we must not forget.

    Today the Unions are nothing more that an ARM of Enforcement for the Islamic Chairman, Obama, his Obamanation Administration and the Progressive/Marxist Controlled Congress.

    Wake Up People before it is too late.

    TSGT Clough.
    • Absolutely! The early unions did accomplish some measure of good, but they'd outlived their real usefulness by the time I was old enough for school, and like the CIA, and several other organizations that have also outlived their usefulness, NEED to be disbanded. A shop union, at a local level is one thing; employees banding together to negotiate with a single employer. But for those huge groups like the Teamsters, AFL-CIO, SEIU, et al to negotiate for huge groups across the board when different conditions exist in different places, and etc. is ONLY about power and control and getting the ones at the top rich on the mandatory dues, all of which is out of place and harmful to society at large.
  • And that is why so many of us beleive it may be too late to fix the problem at the ballot box.
  • Not one of the Secretary of States provided proper certification of Obama for President and should be either impeached or tried for treason.
    • Apparently HI did get "certification" from the DNP that Obama was qualified to run under the Constitution, NOT one of the other 49 states apparently even questioned it; and HI just took their word for it evidently, and didn't actually vet him either. They were the only ones to receive a form that stated he was Constitutionally eligible from the Party, the others got a different form that never mentioned Constitutional eligibility, and not a single one of them even questioned it evidently.
  • Fortunately for Americans, this is unlikely to be a close election. It may be that the Democrats are too far gone in popularity to steal the election. The less close an election becomes the more difficult it is to steal it.

    Let us pray that the Democrats are too far gone for even attempts at election-stealing to save them.

    As for BHO's plot to assume dictatorial powers via abuse of executive order powers this is clearly illegal for him. He is required to abide by Constitutional limits on the power of the presidency. The Senate and Congress TOO can assume dictatorial powers--and force him out of office. Merely because THIS Congress and Senate didn't have the decency to take action against the rotten one does NOT mean the next ones will share that same failing.
    • Two problems; recent polls are showing closing gaps between candidates again, and the President's powers are ONLY held in check WHEN the checks and balances work; but when all 3 branches are acting in concert, there ARE NO checks and balances at all. You're also assuming that changing the names and faces will actually change the Congress, and that might be a dangerous assumption to make at this point. You're also assuming Obama will "go quietly" when challenged finally; and that's about as likely as Hitler doing so in 1941 would have been. He has Soros and the rest of his Bilderberger puppetmasters behind him and the UN which is their action arm as well. Whatever does happen, it's NOT going to be neat or nice in any sense of those terms.,
