New Hampshire's island-paradise-dwelling House Speaker called a special session today to pass a right to work bill to destroy unions.

Granite State firefighters aren't pleased. Neither are we.
Dave Lang, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire, put out a statement saying Speaker Bill O'Brien is using presidential candidates as personal lobbyists to push his anti-union agenda.
