Most of those you polled are Republicans who are in Unions or not in Unions at all, for Myself I don't want to see what happened in the country before Unions again, Tell the Republicans and Tea Bagers the Unions are here to STAY. I am not a Union member but I whole Heartly support them. Tell the Republicans and Tea Bagers " Get over It"
