All the terminator is trying to do is prevent the unions from making political contributions (all to dems) with union dues that workders are, essentially, forced to pay via the fair share provision.

Kerry is such an ass....the real lurch would be better...when does Kerry go away?

Why should he go away? Life is good. Union butt-kissing presidential candidates have done so well in the history of the Democrat party.

I was once forced to belong to AFSCME (one of the "we take your dues out of your paycheck either way - support us or it goes to charity" unions). For one thing, I believe the ACLU should step in and stop the practice of forcing employees to have deductions taken out of their paycheck - if you can imagine the ACLU actually doing something useful for a change. For another thing, it aggravated most of the employees that not only were their dues used to support Democratic candidates but we were also sent AFSCME magazines in which half of the magazine was devoted to an anti-Republican diabtribe. I don't know how much was used for phone calls, magazines whose only purpose was to promote the Democrat agenda and personnel to make the calls and print and write the magazines, but I would bet it amounted to a significant percent of what they receive in dues - which left very little to actually be spent on representing the people who paid to keep the union going.
