Oregon AFSCME breaks ranks, endorses Obama

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Earlier this afternoon, Oregon AFSCME voted to endorse Barack Obama for President. Previously, the national AFSCME organization had endorsed Hillary Clinton.

Oregon AFSCME becomes the only state organization in the country - other than Illinois AFSCME, in Obama's home state - to break ranks with the national.

Oregon AFSCME's executive director, Ken Allen, described the vote as "overwhelming."

Like this is a stunning announcement. It does not get any more militant left wing then AFSCME. These are the socialist government ruling class here in my state. They control all the politics here.
