A few weeks ago, the Center for Media and Democracy along with The Nation published a series of articles exposing the nasty truth about the American Legislative Exchange Council. They published over 800 different laws that the organization has written for Republicans across the country – laws that will benefit their members’ industries and provide nothing for consumers. But that’s not the end of the story. As it turns out, ALEC is actually using taxpayer’s money to help push their small-government, pro-corporate agenda.

2. WOW

That sounds like my situation. The city I work for uses taxpayer money to collect $ from me, against my will, to give to a union that in turn uses it to fund politicians of their choice. The politicians use that money to buy votes, by not only advertising, but passing legislation that is often a give away to select groups instead of everyone.

I am not against unions. I am against the whole political machine of coercion and payoffs with our money.

6. When was the last time you attended a Union meeting. My guess, you can't remember. Try going to a

more than a few meetings, get involved, and make your voice heard.

7. You're not against unions?

Could've fooled me...
