smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie

Rosemary!

ok so here's a weird one...KEYT had a story about a woman, Rosemary Banko, who worked for the county, she retired and now she's suing SB County and the Union for the union dues she paid, but didn't want to...she's filing under a civil rights violation!!

a little research finds that she's a teabagger!!! now contrast Rosemary to Helen Keller, who fought for workers' rights and for the deaf and blind...do you think Helen Keller would be pissing and moaning about some union dues? NO! she'd be proud to pay...

Newspaper columnists who had praised her courage and intelligence before she expressed her socialist views now called attention to her disabilities. The editor of the Brooklyn Eagle wrote that her "mistakes sprung out of the manifest limitations of her development." Keller responded to that editor, referring to having met him before he knew of her political views:
"At that time the compliments he paid me were so generous that I blush to remember them. But now that I have come out for socialism he reminds me and the public that I am blind and deaf and especially liable to error. I must have shrunk in intelligence during the years since I met him. ... Oh, ridiculous Brooklyn Eagle! Socially blind and deaf, it defends an intolerable system, a system that is the cause of much of the physical blindness and deafness which we are trying to prevent"

Brooklyn Eagle kinda like the News-Press and Santa Ynez Valley Journal!!
"I was appointed on a commission to investigate the conditions of the blind. For the first time I, who had thought blindness a misfortune beyond human control, found that too much of it was traceable to wrong industrial conditions, often caused by the selfishness and greed of employers. And the social evil contributed its share. I found that poverty drove women to a life of shame that ended in blindness."

The last sentence refers to prostitution and syphilis, the former a frequent cause of the latter, and the latter a leading cause of blindness. In the same interview, Keller also cited the 1912 strike of textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts for instigating her support of socialism.

　
see Rosemary?? without Helen Keller, you'd have ended up an old whore..which is probably what you are anyway..hussy!!!

and her hubby is a contractor: Mr. Russell Banko (Self Employed/Contractor), (Zip code: 93463) $500 to REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE on 09/08/08

so the lawsuit is obviously political....

　
well let's see Rosemary..there's union dues to pay if you work in a union shop...I paid about $14 per month during my career as a Lighthouse Keeper

if you benefit from salary negotiations, but you hate unions and don't want to join, you will pay a lesser fee..a maintencance fee...why should my dues subsidize you..if you don't like unions, go work for the News-Press you crazy old bitch!! but nope, Rosemary's glad to draw a monthly check from the county retirement system....and besides, the employees voted for union shop and it looks like Rosemay was on the losing end...

now let's say Rosemary worked for the county for 20 years and she paid $8/month in union fees...20 years equals 240 months....240 months* $8=$1920...so that's what she wants in a refund...that's the grand total!!! well I hope she gives back any pay increases she got from those illegal union negotiations...

the point of unions is to pool resources which increases working class power..and that scares the conservatives and teabaggers..the days of ENRON type employers who steal from their employees are over

now I saw this letter in the Santa Ynez Valley Journal where Rosemary sticks up for teabaggers

Government involvement
This is in response to the letter from Peggy Steele in the March 25 edition of the Valley Journal:

It is difficult to believe she spoke to someone who was involved in the protest on Saturday. The people joining these demonstrations, loosely referred to as "Tea Parties," do not believe in any of the things she says were suggested to her. Common sense would tell you that people showing up on a Saturday morning to show their dislike of government involvement in their lives would not advise someone to defraud the government and get taxpayer provided assistance. Also, if someone had done such an illegal and immoral thing, does anyone really believe they would reveal it to a perfect stranger? Finally, when she claimed that whoever she spoke to started talking about Glenn Beck and impeaching the President, she revealed her true bias. Her letter was another attempt to smear freedom-loving citizens who were practicing their Constitutional right (for now) of free speech.

I also think that it seems rather selfish to demand that all Americans be required to lose the health care they planned and worked for just so her son will be covered if he loses his job?
