Is Democracy Dead? Part II

The Obama administration was giving billions to California to stimulate the economy. Of course, California would like to balance their budget by trimming costs and saving $74 million in labor costs.

But the SEIU spent millions helping Obama get elected. And now it is time for payback.

When will we learn that when public unions are allowed to take public stances on partisian politics, democracy loses?

I have had the pleasure to work for 2 respected public groups and in both of them I was not allowed to engage in partisian politics. I worked for the public and the integrity of the group would be compromised if there was partisian political involvement.

I therefore have a policy to vote for any candidate who has the lowest number of SEIU, AFSCME, NEA, FireDepartments, etc behind him/her when they speak. We are heading to a crises due in large part to overly generous public pensions.
