Should any political party attempt to abolish
social security, unemployment insurance, and
eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you
would not hear of that party again in our
political history.  There is a tiny splinter
group, of course, that believes that you can do
these things.  Among them are a few Texas oil
millionaires, and an occasional politician or
businessman from other areas.  Their
number is negligible and they are stupid.”

How Corporations Pay More for Lobbyists Than in Taxes:
KAUKAUNA, WI., Dec. 13, from the office of the General Chairman--Here is another episode of “the tail wagging the dog” or in other
words the 1% vs the 99%.  Please pour yourself another cup o’ java and sit back and read the attachment concerning the top 30
companies lobbying Washington versus what they actually pay in taxes.  It is astonishing and makes for a very compelling argument
as to who is actually running the country.  Couple that with the recent changes to the political donations scams and you have a recipe
for a national disaster (or more of a one) when it comes to the middle class.  Finally, this one article provides even more insight as to
why we are now entertaining the tentative agreement and healthcare changes and why organized labor, in general, is constantly
fighting an uphill battle.

Former CN head tapped as possible CP boss
TORONTO, ONT., Jan. 3, from canadaeast.com--Hunter Harrison, the former head of Canadian National Railway Co., has been
approached as a possible candidate to take over the helm of his former rival, Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. and he is apparently
receptive to the move, sources familiar with the plan have confirmed.

Committee of Adjustment Welcomes its
Brothers from DM&IR and the DW&P.
Update from BLET Tax Compliance Department
CLEVELAND, Jan. 11, from the BLE&T Web Site--I. R. S. regulations require the BLET National Division to inform its members that a
certain portion of your National Division dues are not tax deductible as a miscellaneous itemized deduction on your personal tax
returns.  According to the National Secretary-Treasurer’s office, the portion of the National Division dues that is not subject to
deduction as an Itemized Deduction on a Form 1040 tax return is 13.56 percent for 2011. In other words, 86.44 percent of your BLET
National Division dues are tax deductible.  The 13.56 percent reflects expenses associated with political lobbying efforts by the BLET,
which are not tax deductible.
               THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!


1. No Tenure / No Pension.

A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and
receives no pay when they're out of office.

2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social
Security.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the
Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into
the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the
American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all
Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.                

5. Congress loses their current health care system and
participates in the same health care system as the American
people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the
American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are
void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this
contract with Congressmen/women. Congressmen/women
made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress
is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned
citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go
home and back to work!
