Akin has also fought to end pensions for everyone else all while he draws one himself.

[midnight]

"Rep. Todd Akin (R-Missouri) recently amended a decade’s worth of financial reports. What was found in the amended reports is that Akin, a current candidate for U.S. Senate, failed to disclose almost $130,000 of pension funds from his earlier position as a member of the Missouri House.

This comes as Akin still is reeling from overwhelmingly negative public response to a video which recently surfaced of him telling an audience in Kansas City if they wanted his attention to “write me a decent check…I remember that” from last May. Akin has also fought to end pensions for everyone else all while he draws one himself. Perhaps most damning, he will never live down introducing “legitimate rape” into the public lexicon.

Congressman Akin called his failure to disclose $130,000 an “unintentional oversight” when he submitted his amended forms to the House Ethics Committee, but if he forgets $130,000, what else might he have forgotten? Perhaps one of those “decent checks?


In March of 2007, the House voted on passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. The legislation passed the House 241-185. Todd Akin voted against the Employee Free Choice Act."

The Employee Free Choice Act
"A growing, bipartisan coalition of policymakers supports the Employee Free Choice Act, proposed legislation that would ensure that workers have a free choice and a fair chance to form a union. Simply put, the Employee Free Choice Act will allow workers to once again choose to form unions without the fear of being fired.

The legislation would give workers a fair and direct path to form unions through majority sign-up, help employees secure a contract with their employer in a reasonable period of time, and toughen penalties against employers who violate their workers' rights.

Why is this bill so important? It's plain as day: workers are struggling in this country. Today's workplaces are tilted in favor of lavishly-paid CEOs, who get golden parachutes while middle-class families struggle to get by.

The Employee Free Choice Act can restore the balance, giving more workers a chance to form unions and get better health care, job security, and benefits – and an opportunity to pursue their dreams."
