But don’t worry the SEIU et/al care about their members money. Honest!

The two labor organizations say they have a combined $88 million or more to deploy in this year’s election cycle. It’s not clear how much of that money they will pool together.

In the words of Thomas Jefferson: “To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”

Of course if the union steward decides who works, in a bad economy maybe they don’t dare raise their voices, but until you clean up your own house, expect more of the same.
