As longtime listeners to the EIB Network know, Mark "F. Lee" Levin heads the legal department of the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. Mark is also president of the Landmark Legal Foundation - and they're going after these hypocritical liberal organizations that claim to be non-partisan.
Yes, the Landmark Legal Foundation has taken on the National Education Association. Levin filed a complaint against the NEA for hosting political activities primarily for Democrat candidates and causes, saying, "The NEA obviously doesn't want America's teachers, parents and taxpayers to know how it is using tax exempt membership dues and fees."
This is a bold stroke, folks. These groups are nothing but arms of the Democrat Party - and it's about time someone had the guts to say so.
In my community they are more like the legs, running around kicking business owners to give them more money!
The politics of the NEA suit shape up a lot better. Going against the NAACP will bring the inevitable cries of "racism."
The NEA is defenseless, however: the schools are acknowledged to be a mess, and the NEA has obviously been more concerned about Democrat national politics than local teachers or local kids. It represents the worst sort of union abuse.
It's a nice poke in the snoot for the dems, and also serves notice to the AFL-CIO soft money people.
Good choice.
