With a recent Federal Election Commission decision Obama's government has ruled in favor of the SEIU's illegal kickback scheme and decided that such law breaking it is A'OK as far as he is concerned.
Ostensibly, FEC law states that unions cannot require member locals to pay a specific amount of money into a union's political action committee (PAC) fund. PAC contributions by the locals are supposed to be voluntary and not forced by rules from the main HQ. This year, however, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has handed down rules from its Washington HQ that locals must send $25,000 each to the SEIU political PAC or face a "fine" of $37,500 from the main office in DC. This clearly violates FEC rules.
Once this violation came to light Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, filed a complaint with the FEC. In response, Obama's FEC has decided that the SEIU's law breaking is nothing to worry about...
No surprise here.
His wife was openly electioneering without so much as a peep from the MSM, let alone law enforcement.
The law doesn’t apply to their side.
It’s Not Illegal when done while Democrat!
Didn’t you get the MSM memo on this, years ago?
What amazes me is that those so-called “moderates” that are supposed to hate all the hypocrisy and “nastiness” in politics never notice the fact that the rules never apply to Democrats. This fact alone should be enough for a real moderate to ALWAYS hate Democrats. Yet it goes without notice all the time. Laws and rules do not apply to Democrats and the Old Media and those so-called moderates simply let them get away with it.
totally
Obama’s government has ruled. /s
WHAT?? Someone actually believes the LAW should apply to LEFTISTS???!!! And where is Mitchie the Kid McConnell’s voice, raised to the point of breaking the CLOUDS on this outrageous decision?? Or is he still safely hiding under his desk, waiting for the next CONSERVATIVE to belittle!
LOL
