It's All About Power

The unions' power to take money from its members and give it to Democrats was restored with Governor Christine Gregoire's signature last week.

It's all about maintaining union power - the power to take money from unwilling members and give it to Democrat politicians.

Sen. Margarita Prentice (D-11th) admitted that the bill’s intent is to protect union power. “In union there’s strength, and there’s a reason why unions exist, and why they have the kind of power—and I think we need to do everything we can to preserve that,” Prentice said.

And the power that the Democrats preserved here is the power to take money out of the pockets of unwilling working people and put it into their own re-election campaigns.
