AFL-CIO's "Rapid Response"

"Chicago LCLAA Rapid Response Mtg. for May Day Logistics" is the header on this e-vite email that The Bench received today. WTF? was our immediate reaction. Gee, The Bench is invited to this meeting of the AFL-CIO. How did the AFL-CIO know that The Bench supports the betrayal of American union laborers by legalizing illegal immigrants? How did they know that we are in favor of stealing other people's money to pay for universal health care? Gosh, how do they know that The Bench is so supportive of crooked union leaders who force their members to pay dues, only to have their money used for this kind of questionable political activity? How did they know? The body of the email / e-vite: Host: Chicago Metro LCLAA Location: Teamsters, Local 743 Union Hall , 4620 S.
