"Beyond license plates PRISONS | The union battle in Wisconsin may result in helping prisoners

[a kennedy]

become better prepared to enter the job market upon release" by Bob Sloan

Since this article, published under a Christian label applauds Walker's ending collective bargaining in Wisconsin, my curiosity got the best of me - I mean, really?

The hours I spent researching this Publisher were fruitful indeed. It led me all over the world and back, finally revealing links to the Koch bro's, their Heritage Foundation and issues of global warming - er, "Climate Change" - and other nefarious and cooperative efforts of members of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

Grab a favorite drink, make sure you're securely seated comfortably with snacks at hand and allow me to give you an enlightening tour of just how insidious, far ranging and pervasive the Koch and ALEC influences really are...

This article has statements supporting the use of prison labor - which all of you know is an issue I'm passionately against - presented from a "Christian" POV:

"Until now, in many states, union officials have used their clout to keep inmates from producing any goods or services that could compete with the work of their members."
and includes information about the PIECP program and the Ashurst-Sumners Act:

"In 1935, at the height of New Deal labor union power, Congress passed the Ashurt-Sumners Act that banned interstate transport of products made by prison labor. Two years later the Supreme Court declared the act constitutional in a case involving Kentucky prisoners who made horse collars."
