FEC Conlcudes that the Domocrat Party is controlled by Labor

Time for name change
"Of all the strengths of America's labor movement, historically two have distinguished it from the more radicalized versions that prevail on the continent," the Wall Street Journal says.
"One was its determined anti-communism. The other was an agenda geared less to ideology than to concrete issues like pay and working conditions. Worth recalling this Labor Day weekend is that it wasn't Henry Ford who said 'the worst crime against working people is a company that fails to operate at a profit.' It was the first president of the American Federation of Labor, Samuel Gompers. Given this tradition, it's no surprise that America never did spawn a Labor Party," the newspaper said in an editorial.
"Until now, that is.
"That party, of course, calls itself the Democratic Party. But if the Federal Elections Commission is correct and we had any kind of truth in advertising, the Democrats would change their name to the American Labor Party. In a report stamped 'sensitive,' the FEC's general counsel concluded that such was the extent of labor's muscle in the 1996 elections that the AFL-CIO and its affiliates enjoyed -- in exchange for financial contributions the 'authority to approve or disaprove plans, projects and needs of the DNC and its state parties.'"
