    Lobbying for something, is a far cry from dictating.

    They're not lobbying, they're demanding. And it isn't a union's job to demand ANYTHING which doesn't directly relate to members' pay and conditions of service.

    And now for something really disturbing;

    ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The troublesome fish currently known as Asian carp may get a new name in Minnesota over concern that the current one casts people from Asian cultures in a negative light.
    Proposals advancing in the Legislature would require the Department of Natural Resources to refer to the fish as "invasive carp," a reference to the threat the non-native fish pose to Mississippi River-area ecosystems.
    Sen. John Hoffman, the Champlin Democrat sponsoring a bill in the Senate, said some people of Asian descent have complained about the name.

    I dont blame them myself...The name itself is insufficient as a classing or description.
    Wonder how they got there though...

    Yes who do those commie doctors think they are.
    Who can forget the disgraceful way they hounded and harried those wonderful Tabacco Companies by falsely claiming smoking causes cancer.
    Why they even claimed the Tabacco Industry was lying and hiding evidence of a direct link between smoking and cancer.
    What has that got to do with their pay and conditions?
    How dare Doctors get involved in Public Health Campaigns.

    They will be after banning Thalidomide next.................
