The Really Big Money? Not the Kochs

On 03/07/2014

Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel on union political spending and forced dues. It’s an extraordinary thing, in a political age obsessed with campaign money, that nobody scrutinizes the biggest, baddest, “darkest” spenders of all: organized labor. The IRS is muzzling nonprofits; Democrats are “outing” corporate donors; Jane Mayer is probably working on part 89 of her New Yorker series on the “covert” Kochs.

On 12/23/2013

Majority of Senators Obey Big Labor, Opt to Ignore Chamber Rules (Click here to download the National Right To Work Committee’s November-December 2013 Newsletter) Among the major Capitol Hill victories won by pro-Right to Work Americans over the past half-a-century, relatively few would have been possible were it not for the availability of the “extended debate” weapon in the U.S. Senate.
