On his facebook page, Chad Causey is touting the endorsement of the Arkansas Education Association. This makes the second major Arkansas union, after the AFL-CIO, that has decided to ignore Chad Causey’s opposition to both health care reform and the Employee Free Choice Act and endorse him anyway. And this with a Democrat in the field, David Cook, who supports both positions. The AFL-CIO, of course, supported health care reform and supports EFCA. I couldn’t find the NEA’s position on health care, but they do support EFCA. My question is why are they backing a candidate that is against those issues, and I’m contacting both unions directly to ask:
1) What is the union’s stated reason for endorsing Chad Causey above the other Democrats in the feild?
2) What is the union’s statement on Causey’s opposition to health care reform and EFCA?
Once again Marion strong arms an organization representing hard working people into taking a stance contrary to those people’s interest. Where will MArion stop in trying to force his boy down our throats? Too bad Marion does not have the class of Vic Snyder whose chief od staff is running for that seat. Vic is sitting it out, realizing it is the peoloe’s seat, not his.
Nothing Marion would do would surprise me. In the meantime, the candidate who deserved the teachers support, David Cook, toils just to get noticed.
Cook has life’s experiences to rely on. Marion’s boy has a hard working mother and Uncle Marion. Who would you rather have?!
Where will Marion stop????
Most polling firms demand payment in advance… not months later…. someone needs to request the results from this poll…
