Happy V-day to everyone. There are a number of interesting things going on in the labor/political blogosphere today that simply need to be shared:

Cheney declared today that Bush would veto the Employee Free Choice Act if it reaches his desk. That is disappointing, but not unsurprising. The Bush Administration has been virulently anti-labor. Think Progress has the video. AFL-CIO has even more here.
Speaking of the Employee Free Choice Act...looks like some deep pocketed groups are joining together to try and defeat it.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has a new official blog up, run by Jesse Lee called The Gavel. It is really well done and should be a great resource in the coming months and years.
A new health care coalition was just launched. Its OUR Health Care represents 8 million Californians. Frank Russo has a post up and Gary Passmore of the Congress of California Seniors has a second one on the CA Progress Report.
Not directly blogging, but tech related. Villaraigosa wants citywide WiFi. Free WiFi would certainly improve the quality of life in LA, but how the deal is constructed is critical.
