Union Memo Hints At Gov.'s Death

Politicians have given unions benefits and salaries far beyond their non-union counterparts and the tax base is no longer sufficient to cover these exorbitant contracts. Unless the contracts are renegotiated, the states and local governments will go bankrupt. Christie is trying to do just that and the unions appear to be reverting to their old "knee busting" mentality. The majority of union members are solid, caring citizens, but if the MSM thinks the Tea Party is bad, just wait to see what the union thugs will do. This may be just a bad joke, but don't be surprised if the battles to come get more heated and physical.

HACKENSACK, N.J. (CBS) ―

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie isn't laughing about a teachers union's memo that hints of his death.

The memo is the latest salvo in a war of words between Christie and the union over wage and benefits concessions.

The Record of Bergen County obtained the Bergen County Education Association memo that includes a closing prayer:

"Dear Lord this year you have taken away my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress, Farrah Fawcett, my favorite singer, Michael Jackson, and my favorite salesman, Billy Mays. I just wanted to let you know that Chris Christie is my favorite governor."

Association president Joe Coppola says the "prayer" was a joke and was never meant to be made public. Read CBS article here.
