And I guess we'll just have to live with this disgusting 1st amendment.

What's even more scandalous is that union members are forced to contribute to Dem politicians they don't support. Political funds extracted from union members go 95%+ to Dems.

Clinton even rescinded an executive order signed by Bush enforcing the Beck decision by the Supreme Court and in his first two years, with a Dem Congress, Clinton turned back the clock and weakened laws against political activity by government employees.

In the recent defeat of "Paycheck Protection" in CA the unions outspent the pro forces 11-1 and lied outrageously in their media saturation campaign, stating that the proposition would hurt charities and endanger police by causing their home addresses to be published.

Still, the measure was defeated by only 5% and should win next time once the extent of the Dem-union corruption is made public.

John,

Yeah, I get the same feeling when I see the infrastructure elite and the NEA display the same kind of influence garnering.

IMO, this was the year for reform. If its not happening now, it never will.
