Union warns House Democrats of retaliation for opposing Keystone XL

A letter distributed by the Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA) to the 27 districts calls for union members to make sure their representative "feels the power and the fury of LIUNA this November," The Hill reported.

"Your member of Congress is trying to destroy job opportunities for our LIUNA brothers and sisters," read the letter signed by Terry O'Sullivan, the general president of LIUNA, and obtained by The Hill on Friday.

"For every action, there is a reaction, and our reaction to this frontal assault on our way of life needs to be loud and clear. If you do not stand with us, we sure as hell will not stand with you," O'Sullivan wrote, citing the jobs Keystone would create.

The House members being targeted by the union include Reps. Frank Pallone Jr., D-N.J.; Anna Eshoo, D-Calif.; Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz.; and Tim Ryan, D-Ohio. All of the representatives signed a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry in March urging him to reject the pipeline.

I wonder who the union thinks they'll replace those reps with.

Even if it is approved by Congress and the President, I doubt it will ever be built. The left wing liberal judges will vote in favor of the Env. quacks to block it or delay it. It will be tied up in court for years.

This might be quite a dilemma for the nutters.

Union vs Enviro-wackos 

It all depends on who has bought the most judges 

My money is on the eviros

(where in the hell do they get all their money anyway?)

It's curious that OS has not posted  anything about this yet.

I love a good DemonRat bitch-fight.

Some time ago, the dems attempted to create a blue/green alliance, joining the environmental whackos with the blue collar union labor force, to make a powerful coalition.  It did not end well.
