For the Democrats the important core will be the unions. As, for example, the reported $10 increase in dues. As was stated on one website: "On Independence Day, the nation's largest teachers' labor union, the National Education Association (NEA), was busy gearing up for the 2012 re-election of their Messiah, President Barack Obama. The far-left, radical union also voted to pass a $10 annual dues increase, which will go towards the NEA's Crisis Fund. Essentially, the new, mandatory dues increase will go towards helping the 'messaging' around Obama's re-election bid. Public sector unions have long supported Democrats, but have certainly upped their funding and grassroots support since Obama took office. Realistically, 2012 is the last chance that the labor unions have before America sees how devastating they really are."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
