WASHINGTON - Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh (R-8) took his outrage with the Department of Labor's new poster straight to Secretary Hilda Solis this week, Mark Tapscott reports in the NewsOK today.
The poster shows Solis walking arm in arm with Rev. Al Sharpton with Rev. Jesse Jackson nearby, and includes this quote from Solis: “Whether we take to the streets or simply do our work with integrity and commitment here at the U.S. Department of Labor, we are all marching toward the same goals: safer workplaces, fair pay, dignity on the job, secure retirement and opportunities to make a better life. I believe in the power of collective action.”
Walsh wrote to Solis: "Some employees that have remained anonymous have described these posters as 'propaganda' and I agree. The sign is both contrary to the role of your department and a misuse of taxpayer funds. Your job is not to inject yourself into politics - especially not by promoting your own political stance through a poster paid for by the taxpayer."
