Ohio Rejects Right-Wing Attack on Labor

Today, Ohio voters overwhelmingly rejected the Rethuglican state law that would have stripped public employees -- police, fire fighters, teachers, etc. -- of their collective bargaining rights. It's a major defeat for the unpopular Gov. John "Koch Machine" Kasich, who is reeling with the worst approval numbers of any governor.

Congratulations to the labor movement, who got the message out to the general public that this attack on the middle class was the opening salvo from the Rethugs, who were representing big corporate interests in trying to bust union rights. Now, if Wisconsin voters can follow suit and boot Gov. Scott "Too Much Johnnie" Walker and his merry band of Koch-heads, we'll pop the champagne.
