    Unions PAC Funds lining up for President Obama

    Letters and INTERNET notices are appearing at the homes of many Union Members. They are basically saying to support President Obama for re election.

    So this also signals the beginning of Millions and Millions of Union PAC Fund Dollars being paid out. PAC Funds/Political Action Funds receive their funding as part of the dues collected from Union Members.

    Many members have no knowledge or input in who receives their money. Its sad when you think most members don't know how much of their money is given away yearly - who receives it - how often and whats the actual agenda of those who hand out this money.

    Should union members have a vote on who receives their dues funded PAC money???

    Should Union Members be informed of proposed donations prior to the checks being written?
    #Dems play musical chairs + patronage and nepotism = entitlement !

    yes the union members should be able to vote on where the $$ goes after the dues are confiscated from them.

    on the other hand, other PACs will be doing similar for romney campaign. it will be big $$ duking it out against big $$. Ironically enough,al that $$ will become private sector $$ spending via ad agencies etc, thereby creating jobs for a few months in hose related sectors as the $$ whips around. but, alas, before anyone suggests I gavoir it like it's stimulus $$...au contraire,,,i dont..because its a temporary spend in private sector, and creates those paychecks for only the election cycle. Then, kaput. fini. the ""artficial" temporary demand $ stops...just like it was with the obama porkulus..but that's another topic.

    Romney will have PAC $$ also...and so far his PAC peeps seem to be up to the task unlike the mccain folks in 08.

    On the other hn,d it seemed moveon dot org was having probs raising $$...si, the obee wan oblamo PACs might not raise as much as yo uthink, unless, of course, they just completely drain the unions.

    Let the games begin.
