I assume one of your goals would be to protect members from being forced to contribute to the Democratic Party

We have written into our bylaws that we will not endorse political candidates at the state and federal level.

We tackle issues and I am attempting to teach others that it's much healthier to build your relationship with the business and civilian community to develop political leverage.

One way to tackle the funding of the Democratic Party with conservative union dues is to start pushing to identify these affiliated unions as political entities. We need to push our State and Federal legislators to start drafting legislation to mandate that a bargaining entity will not be allowed to mandate affiliation to these political organizations.

Most union members are conservative. I feel that if given the opportunity opt out of funding these outside entities they would do so.

Unions are mandated to work as a Democracy in order to maintain their Non Profit Status. We need to push them to be the Representative Democracy they claim to be.

We need to mandate that Rank and File be allowed to vote for State and National union leadership.
