Read my lips, I would like to see publicly financed campaigns or at the very least strict spending limits limited to individuals. |

It is the GOP conservatives pushing for no limits on campaign contributions, and the conservative SCOTUS rolling back campaign finance laws and declaring corporations are entitled to spend unlimited in the name of free speech. As for the dems, to be competitive they have to raise money also and the unions are a part of that. |

Only in your simplethink mind do you not know that Unions have been a virtual unlimited source of money for the Dems for years and years. The SCOTUS ruling did level the playing field so I can understand why in your simplethink mind that is not fair. |

Why do some on the Right keep attempting to spread the myth that, prior to Citizens, unions were forbidden by law to spend dues money on election campaigns. They were limited to spending only voluntary contributions to PAC organizations. Of course those contributing to those PAC organizations were not so ashamed of their donations that they wanted them hidden.

Why do some on the Left keep attempting to spread the myth that, prior to Citizens, unions did not spend money, almost unlimited money, on election campaigns? Obviously they do not want the playing field to be level. |

I would like to know how the unions who represent 15-17% of the workers in this country come up with "virtually unlimited" funds to spend on politics? Reality Check.
http://www.organizedwealth.us/ Much, much more at the link. Of course Berton will deny until his dying breath that he has been indoctrinated by the propaganda. Edited by tomdrobin, Mar 11 2014, 10:45 PM.

Tom, Remove the public sector and union members make up about 7% of the work force. Apparently, in Con Land, they are able to control the other 93%. This is like that other Con Land phenomenon where 15% of the non believes declared war on the Christian Christmas and took it away from the 85% who believe... |

Obviously written by a poster who has had absolutely no dealings with real uios. One who has never sat on any union Borards of Directors. Yes, one who know nothing more than what he/she has picked up from right wing propaganda sites. Oh, and written by a poster who shows originality. |
