That is why unions had to be destroyed, starting with Reagan, before this right wing scam called Citizens United could be effective.
So, think about that next time you have a choice to purchase non-union made over union made.

(7,290 posts)Both would have been doing it, which I don't agree with either.
I'm all for strong unions, but because they're good for workers, not because I want them to pour unlimited money into elections.

(67,190 posts)I said if we had strong union membership Citizens United would have never become law.
And without Citizens United we wouldn't have anyone pouring unlimited funds into our elections like we have businessmen doing right now.
