It seems everyday you can read about more “investments” in the political process by organized labor all made possible by coerced-union dues.
Today’s story is generated by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union, AFSCME, which announced the creation of a new 527 political organization, to be headed by union chief Gerald McEntee. Called “Foundation for the Future,” its goal is to raise and spend $17 million over the next six years to influence the 2012 redistricting process in favor of pro-forced unionism politicians.
It is amazing what you can do when the dollars just roll in.
