The Unions Are at Work for the Dems

I received the below article from Mark Mix of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation. It describes how the unions are working to elect Democrats.


"Just how desperate are the union bosses to get their way in tomorrow's election?


The Wall Street Journal recently reported that no outside group has spent more on the 2010 elections than the $87.5 million "incumbent protection program" of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union.

AFSCME union mogul Gerald McEntee even bragged about the big spending. "And we're damn happy it's big. And our members are damn happy it's big--it's their money."

But our new poll, conducted by pollster Frank Luntz October 26-28, demonstrates that rank-and-file union members overwhelmingly oppose Big Labor's billion dollar political blitz.

Sixty percent of union members believe Big Labor's 2010 midterm election spending is a wasteful or unnecessary use of union dues and treasuries.

Additionally, 59 percent of union membership would actually vote to replace their own “union leadership” if given a secret ballot election to do so, and a whopping 72 percent of union members think union bosses should be held more accountable to workers.

Recent reports from Nevada alleging union intimidation at early voting locations and a revealing video in which a teacher union boss speaks nonchalantly about his role in what looks like massive voter fraud in a New Jersey mayoral election exemplify why concerned citizens and even union members themselves are increasingly disgusted with the priorities and actions of union officials.



These news stories also demonstrate why you and I need to be alert during tomorrow's elections. Please, if you read any reports of or personally witness union boss wrongdoing at polling places, let us know.

And if you can, please chip in with a tax-deductible contribution of $10 or more.

Your contribution today will help, if necessary, Foundation attorneys file lawsuits, FEC complaints, or unfair labor practice charges to protect the rights of union members, independent-minded employees, and American voters victimized by illegal union boss electioneering.


Sincerely,

Mark Mix
