Michigan Capitol Confidential ^ | 12/7/11 | Jack Spencer

The “take” so far from Michigan's forced unionization of supposed home health care workers for the Service Employees International Union is $28 million. That tally is going up on a monthly basis.

The overwhelming majority of these dollars can be used for almost anything the SEIU desires, including advertising, issue advocacy, lobbying, get out the vote efforts and other political purposes.

According to the Michigan Department of Community Health, the amount of "dues" taken out of subsidy checks that go to "home health care workers'” checks and passed on to the SEIU so far is as follows:

2007: $5,040,263

2008: $4,922,359

2009: $6,058,075

2010: $5,677,792

2011: $6,391,314

Add it up and you get $28,089,803.

This is a crazy racket very much about the union bigwigs and very little about the average working man who sees it driving away work he’d rather have.

Do we need a national right to work constitutional Amendment?

Whereas the first amendment allows citizens to assemble and join together in a peaceful manner, and whereas the right to assemble is a voluntary right, neither Congress, nor any states or territories subject to the laws of Congress, shall pass any law requiring any citizen of the United States to join or financially contribute to any organization or enterprise against their will save during a time of war and only to fulfill such vacancies in the military and civilian workforce as identified by Congress.

It makes me sick to see my own tax dollars used to wage war against myself.
