Campaign's Big Spender

Public-Employees Union Now Leads All Groups in Independent Election Outlays

I have never understood this, government employees are not allowed to campaign for their favorite candidates "on the job", yet public employees Unions use government employees' money to support candidates, political parties, and/or political cause's even if the same are not in support by many in the Union.

This practice needs to be outlawed. This forces government employees Union members to support policies, which in many cases may contradict an employee's own religious convictions. (an example a Catholic or other Christian that is a pro-life and even instructed by her or his Church to support pro-life initiatives but their union is throwing millions toward electing pro-abort candidates). Or their political beliefs in general. It forces Independent and other non-Democrat Party voters that happen to be government employees to financially support one party - the Democrat Party. This is not democracy but forced one party rule, plain out one party tyranny, once known as fascism.

If any "group" needed to be outlawed to give money to political campaigns it should be Government Employee Unions, individually members should be allowed to give to their cause or cause's of choice, but in the current situation this ability of the Union to give contributions to political candidates, causes and parties, gives one party too much dictatorial power and influence over government employees. Tyranny was something Unions were suppose to free workers from not impose upon.
