Change to Win Labor Federation wants Mark Penn out of the Democratic Party

[MadBadger]

Mark Penn's demotion from his position as Hillary Clinton's top strategist has done little to solve the problem Penn has created for her with Big Labor.

The Change To Win labor federation, which has endorsed Barack Obama and has an estimated six-million members from seven big unions, has put up a blog post with the simple title, "Mark Penn Still Has To Go."

And they don't just mean Penn has to go from the campaign — they mean he has to be kicked out of the Democratic Party entirely.

"Our message on this matter is simple," writes Jason Lefkowitz, the federation's online communications director. "People who represent union-busters should not be welcome in the Democratic Party. People who represent death squads targeting trade unionists should not be welcome in the Democratic Party."

2. Because she's completely dishonest.

3. The PA unions need to keep pushing for him to be truly fired.

He has no place on a Democratic Candidate's team, after his support and employment from union-busters.

He still needs to go. Hillary is dragging it out, she should have FRIED him!
