ScottW --- Jezz, you reading my mind?
Great post!
I've been a Phila Building Trades Union member for 29 years and even with all the pro-labor promises coming from zerObama I can not simply vote my wallet over my principles. I am not alone on the jobsites.
Let me tell you what real plumbers, sprinklerfitters, glaziers, carpenters, masons, etc, think . . .
I printed up a couple sheets of various small NObama stickers (below) for my hardhat and some of the guys in my crew. In less than 3 hours the whole job had them on their hardhats . . . 6 sheets went that fast and guys were stuffing dollar bills in my pockets to print some out for them personally. I was flabbergasted; encouraged but flabbergasted nonetheless . . . . Many guys seemed relieved that fellow union members held the same negative sentiments about zerObama they did; the atmosphere was absolutely jovial!
A lot of people are offering the public display of the hingehead "YES - OBAMA - I WILL OBEY" but in the privacy of the voting booth they will vote their conscience.
