ATR and AWF Call for the Investigation of SEIU President Andy Stern
From Brian Johnson on Monday, November 16, 2009 9:05 AMAmericans for Tax Reform (ATR) and the Alliance for Worker Freedom (AWF) formally requested an investigation by the acting United States Attorney Channing D. Phillips, Esq., into the potentially illegal lobbying activities of the Service Employee International Union (SEIU) President Andy Stern.
In a letter hand delivered to the U.S. Attorney’s office, the Senate Secretary and the House Clerk, ATR President Grover Norquist and AWF Executive Director Brian Johnson wrote:
By this letter, we urge you to investigate the activities of Mr. Andy Stern, President of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), regarding meetings and other lobbying contacts with administration, White House and Congress during 2009. Specifically, it is important to determine whether those and related activities could constitute unregistered “lobbying” by Mr. Stern in violation of the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA), 2 U.S.C. 1601, et seq. In fact, Mr. Stern was a registered lobbyist for SEIU until January of 2007 when he terminated his registration. For the reasons discussed below it appears that Mr. Stern continued to lobby extensively after he terminated his registered status, and in 2009 devoted so much time on lobbying and related activities that he should have re-registered as a lobbyist under LDA.

Uh-oh! Looks like SEIU's activities could be a nationwide problem. This isn't the only case where a complaint was filed in relation to the SEIU: http://derekerwin.blogspot.com/2009/11/violations-nationwide-same-seiu-thugs.html The illegal activities seem to be hiding under a sophisticated network of "firms" and other political action committees, many of which happen to be in collaboration with and/or funded by the SEIU. There are some very important questions that need to be answered, because this doesn't look good for the Service Employees International Union - or the candidates they help get elected.

What ever happened to all talk of "changing the way Washington does business?" This is just another example of regardless of the party in power the name of the game stays the same. The unions have basically bought and paid for this President in no uncertain terms, and they are going to do as they see fit to ensure their agenda is on the front end of the Oval Office table. It's disgraceful, but sadly unsurprising.

Isn't Stern on the board of directors of ACORN?

How much longer can the administration ignore ATR and AWF's call to investigate Andy Stern? I have a feeling this is only the tip of the iceberg, who knows how deep this goes. Americans deserve accountability from their leaders.

Andy Stern, S.erving E.mployers I.nstead of U.s, & Yvonne Walker, Jim Hard, Cathy Hackett, Local 1000 suffers from a cranial anal inversion and are corrupt for ALL 95,000 + state service employees.

I Had the pleasure of Picketing them. also you may want to look at your security clause, you may be able to change to a fee payer Objector (General Motors &bBeck Hudson rights) Good Luck You and your co workers need to stand up to them for the Good Of America.
