"Bill the Union Boss" Takes Over For "Joe the Plumber"

Fearing that a big Democratic majority will rush "card check" legislation through the Senate next year, the U.S. Chamber today is going up with a new ad, “Meet Bill the Union Boss” in targeted Senate races. According to a Chamber source, that ad is meant to “expose the intimidation and threats used by union leaders to influence voters."

The ad will air key Senate races – notably in Minnesota and Oregon – where the candidates have polar opposite views on the union-supported “card check” legislation.
