Prop 226 got past, present and future unions so upset and motivated, it's what brought CA's worst Governor to office before eventually being Recalled!!!
I'm gonna support this measure above all others!!! This is a core issue in CA, believe it, or not!!!
The full article spells out where the money is coming from and why the Governor is shying away from this one and pushing the other four measures. (he's in enough trouble with the unions already)
Already signed this petition as a well as others. I'm tired of my money going to liberal campaigns that I oppose!
Go to their website:

Be sure to sign the petition.
It should be flat out illegal for public employee unions to spend a dime on politics. Nothing prevents individuals from contributing personally if they so choose.
It wasn't too long ago I saw a statistic that said 90% of union political contributions go to Democratic coffers while 60% of the union members vote Republican. Unbelievable. And union leaders wonder why they're losing members.
Good Post! The amount of money being spent by the Cal unions this cycle is both scary and sickening...
My husband's union (mandatory enrollment) and mine (voluntary) both openly politick for the Left.. sickening.
Not to take away from your excellent point, but if you'll check, the private sector unions are losing members, but the public sector unions are agressively growing!!!
These union ads against Arnold are LIES. BOLD. UNABASHED. Since when it a 401K "risking in the stock market" but CalPers investing pension dollars in mutuals somehow a "guarantee"? Riiiight.
The unions have a SHOCKING amount of money and are flooding the airwaves more aggressively than at any off-year time than I can recall in CA.
Well in CA, thanks to Grey Davis, public employees are required by law to pay union dues even if you are not a union member. This is defended as the union needing the dues from you since they're negotiating employment compesation on your behalf too. You essentially can't work in entertainment without being in a union.
Scary doesn't begin to describe it. It's outright frightful.
Oh! You're just so dog gone wrong, Dog Gone! (hands on hips) Don'tchew understand that "Public Servants" have "free speech" rights like anyone else? Just because they work for the public, doesn't mean they are voiceless Public SLAVES!!! (how do you like my Local 1 Shop Steward immitation?)
Not to mention that both unions are completely impotent when it comes to serving the members best interests.. well.. perhaps impotent is the incorrect term.. makes it sound like they have no power to use..
They prefer to spend their time and money lobbying for leftwing causes and candidates than serving their members interests...
Well it has more effective teeth in it than the four toothless, watered down measures the Governor's putting his weight and name behind!!!
Does anybody here remember my recent predictions that that the unions would effectively terminate the Terminator/Governator??? Prop 226 should have been a real eye-opener to everyone about the unbelieveable power of CA's public employee unions!
The polls had 226 ahead by over 70% and suddenly the unions woke up and smote the devilish proposition!!! It got them on the internet; It go them organized; It got them motivated to elect Gray Davis who became their love slave!!!
We must all get behind this new one as it's the "fight to the finish" for CA!!!
You may be a newzjunkey, but you need to become a recent history junkey! The most excellent ballot measure was narrowly defeated by the energized yooonyuns in June 1998 and Gray Davis was elected that November!!! (try to remember...)
Thank you for that link! I'll certainly do that and much, much more!!!
Is that the true headline or are you simply being an anti-union goon?
So now, let's turn our attention to you and what you are, shall we???
