Google Common Purpose Project, whose mission statement include, "When a major public policy fight is engaged, The Common Purpose Project will seek to inform arguments in favor of public policy solutions with short-term projects designed to produce public opinion research, develop creative executions of effective progressive arguments or other tactical strategies." Wonder what major fight they are anticipating to ram something down the public's throats, kind of like Obamacare was?

I can tell you. They want the "Taft-Hartley" Act overturned which will essentially do away with "right to work" states in this country. The Unions poured hundreds of millions into Obama's re-election & now it's payback time.

President Obama is scheduled to meet with labor and progressive leaders today at the White House to discuss the fiscal cliff and overall economic strategy moving into his second term. The meeting will take place behind closed doors and the press isn't invited. Exactly who will be there?
