For Clinton, it always reverts to power and politics if it favors her. She is for the people when it favors her, but got wealthy and traveled on the corporate jet when she served six years on the Wal-Mart board. How can it be conceivable that any Union could support someone who served on Wal-Mart’s board? More concerning is the disrespect of the democratic process when it favors her. Before she lost the Culinary Union endorsement, the idea of at large caucuses were fine. When she lost the endorsement, she decides to undertake a George Bush and disenfranchise the very workers that she claims to champion. You can mess with a lot, but a true believer in Democracy always protects the process even against personal interest.

Does representing all the people include Hilary's time as a Director of Walmart?

From the Huffinton Press:

"Even Wal-Mart, the largest and arguably most powerful corporation in the country, is no match for the triangulation, pandering and obfuscation of Hillary Clinton. With Wal-Mart rating as public enemy number one among many liberals, progressives and just regular voters, Clinton is finding her past ties to Wal-Mart too hot to handle so, presto, over the side the Beast of Bentonville must go.

For those not in the know, Clinton served on Wal-Mart’s board for six years prior to her husband’s run for the presidency. She recently received $5,000 from Wal-Mart. I’ve raised the Wal-Mart relationship repeatedly in my current race against Clinton and it causes deep unease among voters. I believe it speaks to the incumbent’s close ties to abusive corporate power: her large corporate financial contributions, her support for so-called “free trade” (which is simply trade to benefit corporations) and her unwillingness to confront corporate power that denies every American, among other things, universal health insurance."
