AFGE: All About the Anger

Here's American Federation of Government Employees President John Gage, in a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff imploring him to dump proposed personnel system revisions, arguing that the union speaks for all employees in the department:

Our voice is their voice. The concerns we offer are their concerns. When we offer criticisms or portray anger, it reflects what we hear from them. If you shut out our voice, you are shutting out their voice. If you reject our concerns, you are rejecting their concerns. If you dismiss the ideas we offer, you are dismissing their ideas and if you ignore the anger we portray on their behalf, you are really ignoring their anger.

Nothing like using the word "anger" three times in the space of 77 words to win friends and influence people.
