Richard Berman, Anti-Worker Corporate Lobbyist 

This Grinch isn't just trying to steal Christmas-he's trying to steal
workers' rights!  

A notorious lobbyist and hired gun for the alcohol, tobacco, and fast food
industries, Rick Berman will say or do anything for the right price. He's
mounted campaigns to relax drunk driving laws, downplay the public health
impact of obesity and indoor tanning, and prevent an increase in the minimum
wage.  But he's on our Grinch list for his latest attacks on labor unions
and their members. 

Berman has waged a multi-million dollar PR campaign against unions and the
Employee Free Choice Act, a bill that would level the playing field by
making it easier for workers to join unions.  His smear campaigns do the
dirty work for corporate special interests who want to deny their employees
a fair wage, health care benefits, and safety on the job.  

Let's stop Grinch Berman before he and his corporate backers make off with
workers' share of the American Dream.

Wall Street Executives

Over the past 30 years, conservatives successfully gutted regulation and
preached 'smaller government' while millions of Americans lost good jobs and
Wall Street and corporate America made record profits.  Wall Street invented
new, more complicated ways to make money off other people's money 

Now that the party's over, Wall Street wants to plunder the rest of us to
pay the bill for their greedy rampage.  

For conservatives and financial elites, when working class people face a
crisis, plants close or health care costs triple, the system is working.
They take all the private profits, but when the bubble bursts, and they can
no longer sustain their profiteering rampage... well, they're too big to
fail.  And who pays the bill?  The CEOs are telling Congress to send the
bill to working people - the very people who have been forced out of their
housing, out of their jobs, out of their healthcare and out of their
pensions by Wall Street's greed.
