In yesterday’s USAN/Restore Respect campaign e-mail, this cloaked accusation appeared:

“SAG voters don’t hear many snappy slogans or scandalous sound bites from us, that’s true.” Scandalous sound bites? What scandalous sound bites? Perhaps, those who prepared this e-mail jumped the gun after seeing our teaser on Howard Stern–and assumed that we were going to publish some of the more prurient patter that occurred when their candidate appeared on Mr. Stern’s show to promote consolidation. Instead the only “scandalous” sound bite they got from us involved their candidates refusal to debate! As to their reference to “Snappy Slogans,” SAG Watchdog’s only response is……“Less Dues, More Muscle!” “More Clout To get things Done?” “So Vote Early and Often!” “It’s a partnership for power for your career, for your future?” “Leverage=power!” “Consolidation=Strength” “We can’t wait nay longer! Vote Yes for Strength!” “It’s a partnership for power-for your career, for your future.” “No Member Let Behind?” “One Union or No Union at all!” “No Balls! No Whistles! No Kidding!” “Same Name-Same Vision!” “Consolidation Means Strength?” “Here’s a Role You Can’t Afford To Pass up!” “Partnership For Power!” “Take Control of your future?” “One Strong Union, One Powerful Union, One Effective Union?” “Vote yes-It just makes sense!” “A United Front for Maximum Leverage at the Bargaining Table” “Focus on Contracts, Not on Competition Between Unions” “Organizing Clout to Create More Union Job Opportunities” “The Best Protection Of Our Health and Pension Benefits” “Tough, Consistent Contract Enforcement so we get what we are due.” “Efficient, Up-To-Date & Responsive to our needs as members!” “No More wasted resources: We get the most out of our dues dollars. “Combined strength and expertise focused on jobs and benefits” “Only Consolidation will protect your livelihood!” “Don’t Buy The Employer Spin On Consolidation!” “Status Quo Doesn’t Work.” Etc.,etc.etc ad nauseam .
