SOB's gotta go. Let us "put up or shut up".

[Bob Randall]

SOB must go! I am offering my support to any slate that declares its candidacy against SOB. If I believe that a slate genuinely is "coming from the right place" I will offer to put in a certain amount of work, within campaign rules, to assist in that effort. It's time for others to consider the same.

Well, let me say...if I were in a supporting role to assist, I would not be thinking that I was a part of an effort to trash TDU. I just won't do that. However, if the organization were to lose its "seat at the table" so be it. I'm sure that it would survive and re-evaluate. GEB members? Hell, they will go back to their Locals and "earn" $150k - $200k per year. I do not have hatred for those that I had gained respect for. However, they've made their bed by being complicit. ALL THAT SAID...It will be a mountain to climb (long shot). Especially in the East. Nearly impossible. Let's try!

[Gimliboston9]

I have to say it again , the TDU you defend no longer exists. They have transitioned from a reform movement to a for profit educational entity, they draw in new members by teaching about what they once were. While ignoring everything they used to expose.

One of the DRIVE guys about to retire was saying how much everyone in the IBT hates O'Brien, but they all fear him.

[Yard Dog]

That was that guy Sandals from Philly. He went back to his old job. He was saying that down at that shin dig in Florida recently.

[Bob Randall]

Gimliboston9 . All I said was that I can't be expected to trash the organization. If it were to be diminished as a result of a defeat of OBrien...so be it. I've repeatedly said that anyone or any party that remains silent with respect to SOB is complicit. Moreover...any resources used to trash TDU as part of an effort to uncrown SOB would be resources that could be used much more wisely. If my offer to lend work and support is rejected as a result of those ideas...well... then...I'll go fishin'. Move on.
