Forecast for U.S. cities: Confrontation, chaos?

Forecast for U.S. cities: Confrontation, chaos? Unions, radicals plot to counter 'right-wing threats' to 'Middle Class'..The founders of a radical group that teaches tactics of direct action, confrontation and intimidation were among the main speakers at a union convention at which one leader called for opposing "right-wing threats to dismantle the Middle Class." Heather Booth, director of a Saul Alinsky-style community organizing group, the Midwest Academy, was among the main speakers at the "2011 State Battles Summit," held this week at the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill Hotel in Washington, D.C. Booth's husband, Paul, also was a speaker at the union summit. Paul Booth is a co-founder of Midwest Academy. The four-day summit, which ended yesterday, was organized by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, or AFSCME, with participation from the AFL-CIO, the nation's largest union.

Wisconsin Judge Maryann Sumi & Her (SEIU, AFL-CIO) Political Operative Son

Wisconsin Judge Maryann Sumi & Her (SEIU, AFL-CIO) Political Operative Son
There's nothing like a judge's love for her son to cloud her otherwise-cloudy judgement. Judge Maryann Sumi should have recused herself entirely from the Wisconsin battle due to her inability to be neutral in this case. You see, Maryann Sumi has a clear conflict of interest.
