EDUCATORS' DUES WILL STILL GO TO DEMOCRATS

Big Government -- 10/4/2011 Kyle Olson
National Education Association self-serving ad campaign for Obama Jobs Bill by Kyle Olson, BigGovernment.com - About three quarters of unionized teachers are represented by the National Education Association.

At its national convention last summer, the NEA announced that it will support President Obama’s re-election effort.  Earlier this year, the union also announced that it will take $20 from each member’s annual dues payments to spend on “upcoming elections.”

So the union gives to the president, and he returns the favor. The great American tradition of special interests dictating government policy seems safe under the Obama regime.

Given that the relationship between the Democratic Party and the nation’s teachers union is one of co-dependency, this jobs bill and the corresponding ad campaign simply don’t pass the smell test. This bill is only meant to give the teachers unions some walking around money, just in time for the 2012 election.
