America is waking up to the fact that for Democrats .........there are no rules. It is whatever is necessary to win. Teacher and public employee unions now buy entire state legislatures as well as legions of Democrats in Congress.(The NEA alone collects annual union dues in the hundreds of millions of dollars).

It's becoming crystal clear that our job is to get control of public employees at all levels of govt---these people are ruining us.

=============================================

Jerry Brown planted the seeds of California's economic collapse as well as the current national calamity during his first two terms as Governor in the 1970's. His entire political career lies at the very root of the scandals in Bell as well as those that will surely follow. He is the poster child for profligate public spending and failed government. The man who gave us collective bargaining for public employees and turned over the keys to the kingdom to the teachers unions, the Association of Federal, and State Employees and other narrow interest groups, he now reaps the benefit of that bargain by taking large amounts of campaign cash in the form of contributions from the mandatory dues paid by union members.

Hard to believe this idiot Brown got back into office. Guess sap-happy Cali
libs believe anything a pol tells them. Course, we have to factor in massive voter
fraud, as well as Jerky, er, I mean, Jerry,'s incipient Alzheimer's.

BACKSTORY The Cali govt's "campaign money machine scam" to buy
votes with tax dollars was engineered in the 1970s; the pols calculatingly
legalized tax-paid public-employee unions ability to organize and bargain.
Then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed the campaign money-machine bill in 1978.

"Wasn't my fault," 2010 Candidate Brown told cheering Democrats.
