Just saw a commercial

On tv for the " Freedom Foundatuin" the commercial was scary so I looked them up. They are trying to break unions and are pretty close to doing it. They've got good messaging that will appeal to a lot

But we should keep our attention on them.

There are plenty of people who hate unions for one reason or another.
