National Party Committees Step Up Their Independent Spending

I just watched a documentary called The Best Government Money Can Buy. The film is all about big corporations funding political campaigns. Reminded me of the midterm elections. A shocking think I learned from the film is that apparently, lobbyists also write laws and legislation!

Unions don't use union dues, that is against the law. Unions use voluntary contributions from their members. Don't believe everything you read!

So,this wild political spending by both parties proves once again,that Lou Dobbs
put it best, when he said,"The Best Government Money Can Buy!" And,Election
Year 2010 sure proves it as far as this Independent Senior Citizen Voter is
concerned and after the NRA endorsed 20 Democrats then the NRA can go to
Hades too,as I will not vote for any NRA endorsed candidate Democrat or Republican or RINO in 2010 and I will not renew my NRA Membership as well.
Not after this hypocrit NRA bunch leadership sold the NRA like AARP did so
earlier on. Please Vote Every Incumbent Democrat,Republican,and RINO from
Amnesty John McCain on out in 2010 and again in 2012! And take that for not
giving senior citizens any COLA in both 2010 and 2012 and please end Moocher
Michelle Obama One Million Dollar Vacations in Spain and Barack Hussein Obama
endless rounds of golf and non-stop fake photo op teleprompter lectures and
never ending vacations in 2012 as well. Yep you betcha Lou got it right!

The Tea Party--is America and will not be manipulated by the Liberal-Democrats extremists, Republicans elites, open-border or special interests to influence its leadership. Be prepared to see nefarious voting activities as the "Honor System" cannot be trusted anymore, which includes absentee balloting in close races.
Senator Harry Reid of Nevada will certainly force through another illegal alien Amnesty, if he is returned to power. The Heritage Foundation has calculated that passing this law will cost taxpayers $2.6 trillion dollars. This amount will be added to the $13 Trillion, we already owe foreign Nations. Google--Illegal alien costs then judge for yourself and then come to a decision who to vote back into office.
All Liberal Democrats lawmakers have this agenda, including Governors, Mayors, Police chiefs and elected officials. Harry Reid has the 2nd highest jobless rates, next to foreclosures and an out-of-control welfare entitlement program. This powerful Senator did nothing to stop the illegal aliens pouring into the Silver State and then become public recipients of free health care and education. Hundreds of billions are being extracted from your wallet, to support millions of illegal nationals who are little or no education, and have become a liability to our country.

It doesn't seem fair that Unions can use union dues, which are paid by corporations to employees - to fight corporations. In addition, what about those employees with other political views?
There are many people who belong to unions not because they want to, they have no choice!
