Bonehead – didn’t do his homework. That would be McKayne Boedeker who is the Executive Director of the New England Right to Work (out of Manchester, NH). Got a missive from him and like a lot of organizations this time of year (er, election time), it came with a hand outstreched for your wallet. Sounded good, too (emphasis mine, reformatted):
October 13, 2022
Dear Friend:
Freedom, jobs, and economic prosperity are all at stake this-election year.
In New Hampshire, tens of thousands of workers are forced to pay tribute to a union boss or be fired.
That’s why I recently wrote each of your candidates for State Senate, encouraging them to support a state Right to Work law. Along with the letter, a questionnaire was sent to each and every candidate, asking them simply to tell you and me where they stand on the forced-unionism issue.
Today, I have good and bad news.
The good news is, one of your candidates for State Senate — Republican Timothy Lang — has already returned his Candidate Survey in 100% support of a state Right to Work law. Timothy Lang has staked out his position in favor of a state Right to Work law — and more freedom, jobs, and economic prosperity.
The bad news is, the other candidate, Democrat Kate Miller, has, so far, failed to pledge opposition to forced unionism.
Whenever politicians try to hide their positions on Right to Work, long, bitter experience has shown there’s reason to suspect they’ll vote with Big Labor.
That’s why Kate Miller’s failure to come clean should worry any opponent of forced unionism…
How apropos of that observations – “hiding their positions“, “failure to come clean“! As I outlined here, both Tim Lang and Howard Pearl took money from the Common Sense PAC run by Brodie DeShaies that was almost entirely by two Union PACs to the tune of $20,000. Each of those Republican State Candidates took $5,000 of that Union money for their campaigns. When I challenged him on the issues, he took a pass. Not a single answer – including that on how he will vote on any Right To Work bill which is a MAJOR issue for grassroots Conservatives.
And no, Douglas Lambert, asking penetrating questions of candidates is NOT harassment (since it seems he now is highly negative of anything I do – all for show).
Anyways, after that bit of a divergence, I returned to McKayne Boedeker’s lack of due diligence (or was that “hoping the rest of us hadn’t noticed yet”)?

Subject: Boy, did you guys make a HUGE mistake with your mailing!!!Good evening,
I run GraniteGrok.com, NH’s largest and most influential blogsite and I don’t think you are going to be pleased with yourselves as I did the homework you guys failed to do.
You see, you sent your mailing that was gushing ALL OVER Tim Lang, the Republican, and bashing Kate Miller, the Democrat, in NH Senate District 2, to my wife (not to me, my wife).
I read it instead. Good thing, too, as you now have egg ALL OVER your faces:
Now you get to do it ALL over again. Basically, endorsing someone that took money from anti-RTW folks? Not a good look.
Hey, did you do the same for Howard Pearl? He got $5,000 of Union money via Brodie Deshaies’ Common Sense PAC as well. Which was funded by two $10,000 donations from out-of-state Union PACs.
So what say you, McKayne? I’ve already challenged Lang over this – bupkis. Perhaps you will fare better? Lemme know what Pearl says if you’ve backed him as well.
And did you do anything for the rest of the “Lang Gang” (e.g., Bordes, O’Hara, and Trottier). As the link shows, those NH Reps are on the union take as well.

So, what was the response from NERTW Executive Director Boedeker? Yeah, this:
Hopefully, dear readers, you won’t. If someone won’t come clean on an issue, they’re either lying or hiding. And Lang is too smart to be forgetting.
