The unions spent millions defeating it. You don't think if the membership agreed with you that the law would have passed?

read what i said and think about it this way. you're a member of a union who supports george bush. they use your dues for donations and support getting him elected. you hate bush. you think its ok for them to use your dues how the union leaders see fit? the union gets its power from the members dues which are used solely to increase their power. most union members a sheep anyways and vote how their union leaders tell them to. ive been in the meetings where they've told me to vote yes/no on prop/candidate X because it/they would weaken the union and id somehow lose something(most often mentioned was overtime pay). how many union members will get their money back because they disagreed with the ad campaign opposing this proposition? im sure there are a few atleast and id be willing to be 0 will get anywhere when its brought up at the next meeting.
