In the neverending psyops battle, you might think unionists have the edge since they were able to gather 1.2 million signatures to repeal SB5.
Think of it this way. Those 546,000 signatures were gathered by VOLUNTEERS; the signatures were from people whose interest in the cause was about the freedom to choose and saving health care in this country.
Those hundreds and hundreds of unionists had to be PAID to gather the 1.2 million signatures, which is the way it always is in situations like this. Government interests at work with big money organizations behind them pay people to run around and manufacture voters, or gain signatures or lobby for a cause, while the tea partiers are truly grass roots and highly self motivated.
