that was the message from indiana's lunchpail republicans to indiana's republican leaders. the pac launched the president described himself as a life long republican and former supporter of republican governor mitch daniels. he said he served on various boards from the daniels administration, but fed up now with indiana republicans efforts to strip union rights. "a lunchpail republican believes in the right to speak freel le and bear arms, supports labor and business and in sss that the government should not interfere with the day to -to-day operations we should not have to choose between our party, union and guns. the letter from mitch daniels, it said "no need exists to enact take right to work statute in indiana." this may sound surprising to anybody who watched the huge partisan fights over union rights in wisconsin and ohio and maine and on and on for the past year, but supporting union rights, the way mitch daniels said he did in that letter, used to be normal for republicans. and it still is for some republicans. indiana's new lunchpail republicans plan to fund pro-u

if only indiana had a right to work law, if only indiana had a right to work law, then they could create jobs. on growth and manufacturing jobs between 2009 and 2011 for indiana, which hasn't had these right to work laws and for the midwestern states that do. indiana's the one other there on the right that is tall is good in this case. net job losses by year. the darker ones are states without right to work laws. states that preserve union rights. it's hard to argue looking at this. that right to work laws are magic against ensuring against job flight. what you can see from the data is that one thing right to work states have is bad pay, low wages, lower wages and right to work states are on average 3.2% lower than in the states that don't have right to work laws. so that's what republicans want for indiana. not holding on to jobs. not gaining jobs. if you have a job, let's shrinky dink your paychecks. and, again, at least so far it's without much national fanfare. democrats refuse to appear on the house floor yesterday or today denying the republicans the 67-member quorum they need to g

do they do and how might it affect you the next time you make a phone call or surf the web also the indiana state senate passed what they call a right to work legislation monday but really it's right to work for the last legislation i'll explain. when some of america's don't pay their fair share in taxes the rest of us get screwed after weeks of playing cat and mouse with them mitt romney finally released his tax returns yesterday last night in the republican presidential debate in reference to his tax returns and tax rates he said this. my income how much taxes are paid how much i paid to charity you'll see how complicated taxes can be but but i pay all the taxes that are legally required and not a dollar more i don't think you want someone as the candidate for president who pays more taxes than he owes so while they point out that that's the case and will to be discussion sure it will be an article you know but it's entirely legal and fair absolutely i'm proud of the fact that i pay a lot of taxes and really a lot of taxes upon closer examination romney's tax returns there are several thi

tonight, as the state of the union is airing in indiana, local indiana stations are also airing an ad, a labor ad, against indiana -- excuse me, against governor daniels, reminding him of the fact that he used to say that he did not support making indiana a right-to-work state. of course, a lot of republicans wish that mitch daniels was runging for president this year. karen finnian, in terms of the partisanship in the speech tonight, how tough was the president on republicans? how brightly did he draw those lines? did you see this particularly combative in partisan terms? >> not so much combative, but i think to what reverend al was saying, he was very clear in kind of getting these guys in the corner. when he talked about things -- he calls their bluff, for example, on infrastructure. he said, you know, we can do these things, but you've got to send me the bill now. clearly a reference to the argument that republicans have been using against him about keystone. so in very specific places, he talked about very specific things that should and could get done this year, and again, sort

the super bowl is in indiana in a couple of weeks, indianapolis. and the the nfl players' association has been saying very loudly and repeatedly that they are on the side of the democrats and the lunch pail republicans. they are against mitch daniels' union-stripping bill. the pro-union rights protesters at the statehouse have now started chanting "occupy super bowl," the indiana afl-cio says it's not an idle threat. they said today that the super bowl is an opportunity to highlight how inhospitable indiana is becoming for working men and women. but before the country turns its eyes to indianapolis and the super bowl, and its protests against the republican governor there, supported by the nfl players' association, before the country turns its eyes to the super bowl, first the country will turn our eyes to the state of the union address, and immediately thereafter to that indiana governor who is dragging his state into this huge, embarrassing, and very unpopular fight. and he's the guy who the republicans want to be seen as their star player right

he said that multiple times over the time of his governorship in indiana. why did he change his mind and is supporting this now? >> one more thing he said it would cause a civil war in the state. if he went forth with the idea. i don't know why he changed his mind, why he did flip-flop of that degree but it seems pretty clear it has something to do with his ambitions on the national level. to make himself attractive as a number two pick for vice president. you have to please those guys. he needs to be a hero to them. >> democrats had been denials the republicans in the state legislature a quorum so they could not vote on this issue, i know that is how you held it off last year as well. why did it finally pass today, what changed? >> well, look, we can't kill the bill through delay. but we can make it miserable for them by extending it, deciding when we're going to have votes on these things and giving the public a chance to weigh in. that is exactly what we did. the good news is this still hasn't become law, it will go over the indiana senate, where they ha
