Bush Advisor Now Frontman for Big Business Push to Maintain Bush Economic Agenda

On December 9th, the Washington Post quoted Mark McKinnon on the Employee Free Choice Act. What the Post failed to mention is that McKinnon is an advisor and spokesman for the Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI), a big business front group formed months ago solely to fight the Employee Free Choice Act. (An outcry from Post readers and commentators led to the Post publishing a correction.)

Anti-Free Choice = Mark McKinnon = George W. Bush

It makes perfect sense that McKinnon would blow smoke about the Employee Free Choice Act.

Before being hired as WFI's spokesman, McKinnon was a key member of Bush's inner circle, serving as Bush's chief media strategist in his 2000 and 2004 campaigns. McKinnon helped Bush champion the irresponsible policies that have led to our current economic meltdown.

Like President Bush, Mark McKinnon opposes a bill that gives workers a fair and simple path to form unions, put money in their pockets and help drive our economic recovery.

As goes Bush, so goes McKinnon.

Hindering the Change Our Country Needs

Mark McKinnon helped elect a President whose policies have hurt America's middle class and led our country into the worst economic free fall since the Great Depression.

Now, he's working on behalf of corporate America in their efforts to deter the change our economy needs to get back on track.

By opposing the Employee Free Choice Act, Mark McKinnon and his corporate friends hope to block a key step toward restoring America's economic prosperity.

That's NOT the change America voted for.
