So, Look Where Brodie Deshaies Is Speading His Union Campaign Money To! One of Them Surprised Me

NH GOP Platform: We believe in free people, free markets and free enterprise.

Unions make it UNfree.

So in my last post (“So, Look Where Brodie Deshaies Is Getting His Campaign Money From! Hint: Right to Work“), we found out WHO is funding Brodie Deshaies’ Political Action Committee, Common Sense PAC.  If you go to the site, it talks about “Support the NH Advantage”, “Defend the 2nd Amendment”, “Back Our First Responders”, “Have a Bipartisan Attitude”, and Support Election Integrity & Access”.  That first item has this as part of its explanation:

…We must continue our dedication to having some of the country’s lowest taxes and highest economic opportunities…

Well, it is clear that this is, as best, a misdirection as unions only have two things as their purpose – to elevate their members’ (and union bosses’) “economic opportunities” over that of other Americans.  They seek to acquire economic advantages over others that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to achieve and that is by “locking out” those people who refuse to join a union where such unions have created a “closed shop” environment. No join, no work.  This is what Brodie Deshaies is protecting with the $20,000 from the NH AFL-CIO COPE and the Painters Allied Trades DC#35 PAC.

Now, is he KEEPING all this money to himself?  No, as the last page of his filing for Common Sense PAC shows (see below) but there is a question on that bit that I’ll return to later.  So where has the bulk of the money gone to?  SURPRISE!  RINOS!  And we’ve been talking about them for a while.

• Let’s start with Bonnie Ham, shall we? Brodie’s PAC gave her $2,000 (two shots of $1,000 each).  She appeared in our RINO Report just over a week ago where it revealed that not only was she worse than 80-90% of the votes by other Republicans.  She also voted against Right To Work, the bill that would allow YOU to work anywhere that would accept you WITHOUT UNION interference. Bought and paid for.
• Next up is Dennis Acton. He’s a recent report by the RINO Report – just yesterday, as a matter of fact. There’s also a list of bills where he voted opposite 80-90% of Republicans including voting AGAINST the right to join or not join a union ( 2021 SB61 ). He got only half of what Ham got – $1,000.
• James Allard is another RINO that made it into the GraniteGrok RINO Hall of Fame back on August 17.  Another one that should, most likely, be sitting with the Democrats as he voted against the vast majority of Republicans on Platform planks – 123 times this year. Like Acton, like Ham, he believes that unions should be able to veto where you work.  And Brodie Deshaies’ PAC agrees and rewarded him for it with $1,000

And then, with NO surprise at all, we come to some members of what I and other Belknap County conservatives (and now, more outside of the County), are calling the “Lang Gang“. That would be Tim Lang, btw, who has decided to move from being a State Rep to running for State Senator (with Dave DeVoy and John Plumer being his main Primary rivals – I’ll end voting for one of them over Lang but haven’t decided which yet).

So, that old phrase comes into play “you know a person by the friends you keep” and it seems that a number of his posse, all running for reelection for the NH House like those above, are ALL IN on getting that laundered money through Brodie Deshaies’ Common Sense PAC:

• Mike Bordes – $1,000 (twice!). Funny, his website doesn’t talk about supporting unions but does mention “I vow to work across party lines and support common sense movement”. Gotta say thanks, somehow, I guess.  Oh, and to Sununu as well:

• Travis O’Hara – $1,000 (twice!)
• Doug Trottier – $1,000

And all that adds up, according to the the filing (below), to $14,000…oh WAIT!  My match is wrong!  I’m off by $5,000; oopsies, I forgot someone that I’m REALLY surprised at the last person standing (or is that kneeling?):

• Friends of Howard Pearl – $5,000. He’s running for NH State Senate so a lot more money is needed, I guess. Funny, for that amount of money, you’d think he’d say SOMETHING about Right To Work, either for or against (as the money shows) on his Issues page.  What gives?

That’s a bunch of union influence there, isn’t it, that Brodie Deshaies, the cherubic faced one?

Now, I did mention that not ALL the money has been spent – there’s still $6,000 left unspent from that $20,000 haul from the unions…

…where did THAT go (if anywhere)?
