Unions Get $10 B To Help Pass ObamasCare

via Brain Shavings

Hey, somebody has to pay for all those "volunteers" that will be manning the "spontaneous" pro-health reform rallies, information booths and theatrics for the cameras. Now we know how it will be paid for.

$10 billion payoff to unions from taxpayer funds (go read and follow the links)

Astroturfing doesn't come cheap. I wonder what and how much the main stream media is getting?

Throw in unions, progressive groups, illegal aliens, campaign money and Obama's campaign and you have a "grassroots" effort, at least "grassroots" to Democrats hell bent on shoving their so-called reforms down the throats of Americans that do not want it.

Below are the spontaneous outbursts of support from the "grassroots" in central Ohio.
