Ah...I get it now...a vast left wing conspiracy.

You left out medical organizations (doctors, nurses, hospitals admins), patient advocacy organizations, social service organizations, and probably the boy scouts and the pta.

The PTA maybe, but never the Boy Scouts! Nice diversion, kind of combines using Rule 5 or 11 (RfR)

BTW - Doesn't SEIU's Andy Stern sit on the President's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform? I believe he's number 1 on the White House visitors log.
