Prop 226 did get unions upset and motivated. IIRC, Prop 226 "required" unions get written permission from members for dues to be used for political purposes. Has that been upheld? Is it being followed? I have my doubts.

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.

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...)
