Commentary, World Views and Occasional Rants from a small 'l' libertarian in Massachussetts

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The AFL-CIO has jumped into the anti-CFR bandwagon. Filing a suit in federal court today. Inconcievably (or perhaps not) the AP still fails to mention that Floyd Abrams and the ACLU are also involved in the suits being filed. They only mention the AFL-CIO suit and similar suits by the NRA, Christian Coalition, and Mitch McConnell. They did forget Ken Starr, too.

``The AFL-CIO supports strong disclosure laws, but forced publication of the mere intention to speak later will exert chilling effects and impose unjustified burdens and costs,'' the federation said.
