   NurseKevin replied to grouchy's topic in Activism

   LOL Good Luck to you... If you are serious, then I have to suggest that you check out DU (Democratic Underground). Do a google search, they get in a tizzy about links to their site because of forum raids and such.

2. California Nurses to Submit Petitions on Clean Money Elections

   NurseKevin replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism

   It is funny to me that this iniative focuses on the campaign spending of canidates, as well as restricts corporate donations. There is not; however, any limits on third party ads (like the swift boaters) or union contributions. It also strikes me as ...

   NurseKevin replied to Brian's topic in Activism

   fine, but that isn't the one that the cna is behind with all its gusto... yet, when obtaining the required signatures, and if you get them, are you going to mention the lack of restrictions against unions, which donates and finances millions upon ...

5. Citrus Valley RNs win election

   NurseKevin replied to mark hamel's topic in California

   From the same article...and notice what was left out in the quote ( Unions only want you to see one side after all) Also, weren't there very similar complaints at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center, which the NLRB agreed happened as well? And then the CNA ...

   NurseKevin replied to Brian's topic in Activism

   another thing...the summary that you linked says that the funding act will be initiated, and itself was a summary of the clean money fund and what it would do... it also stated that there would be no limit on outside spending...which is what unions d...

8. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

   NurseKevin replied to Brian's topic in Activism

   From your link... Where the unions spent more than the governor anyways, and is supposedly the basis for the Clean Money Bill (The large amount spent is what raised the CNA ire)

11. how does political issues affect nursing?

    NurseKevin replied to lateen808's topic in Safety

    Does your state make you join a union that you want to have no part of? Do the unions in your state lobby vehemently to cap "corporate contributions" while conviently leaving out that unions are huge politcal spenders, and actively fight anything tha...

13. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    NurseKevin replied to Brian's topic in Activism

    I love this... Why don't I turn this argument around. If you want to work with a union, why don't you choose a hospital that already has one to work at? Probably for the same reasons that people who do not like unions work in hospitals with unions. ...

14. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    NurseKevin replied to Brian's topic in Activism

    Please, the problem is not specific to painters Unions The CNA is mailing all kinds of propaganda claiming CVHP is denying the will of the nurses and that they are making false accusations, yet they never mention what the accusations are... funny tha...

    NurseKevin replied to NurseCard's topic in Activism

    Gambling is illegal... Most office pools are gambling, and therefore are illegal but what the boss doesnt know about.... I think it was a bit much to have had the brackets on the intranet and maybe he is mad that UK is only an 8 seed with a 21-12 rec...
