They don't put the slogan “Live Free or Die” on New Hampshire license plates for nothing!

There has been an inspiring statewide local union response to SEIU's predictably short-sighted headquarters embrace of Hillary Clinton. This Sanders endorsement comes from public workers who know Bernie well because they live and work just across the Connecticut River from Vermont–or, in some cases, are Vermonters themselves.

Mary Kay Henry should have an interesting time, in the snows of New England, this January and February, stumping for a Democratic primary candidate her own local affiliate has wisely rejected. To avoid that little Labor for Bernie embarrassment, maybe she'll decide to do her personal GOTV work for Clinton a little further west or south of the New Hampshire state line?
