it also makes me wonder about the supreme court ruling regarding companies donating to campaigns....some people were so against that ruling-but how many are perfectly ok with unions donating tons of dough? aren't unions really a business? interesting stuff.
Back when I was in the Teamsters Union, they would send us the voting guide for all the various things on ballots....candidates..propositions, and who the Teamsters supported. If you were a Dem...they supported you. If they didnt like you or it was a Rep running...there was no endorsement.
