This is a list of the 20 legislators who have received the most funds from public sector unions. Now you see why unions which make up only 12% of the work force get 100% of the favors from Democrats.

New Jersey governor Chris Christie telling it like it is.

Government employee unions — through their employees and political action committees — have contributed more money to congressional candidates this election than all the PACs, executives and employees of the entire oil industry, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics. Because 92 percent of public-employee union money goes to Democrats, President Obama’s party has raised more money from these unions this cycle than Republicans have raised from Wall Street.

Michele Bachmann says Obama should focus on stopping the leak not pushing political agenda.

Don’t believe the hype. But, given the power of the teacher unions within the Democratic Party, something tells me that this bill isn’t really about stimulating the economy or educating our kids.

We’ve been warning you this was coming. Unions have pledged over $100 MILLION to keep imcumbent Democrats in power. This is the payoff.

by Erick Erickson at RedState: By now it’s a well known and established fact that Utah Senate candidate Tim Bridgewater isn’t exactly the traditional small business man that he wants Utah voters to believe; rather, he’s a lobbyist who specializes in getting taxpayer money for his own and for his clients’ businesses – including overseas businesses like Indonesia Power.

There are more union workers in government than in the private sector and they are paid 44% higher wages than in the private sector. Government job growth is 345 times as high as private job growth.

In what is becoming a never ending game plan, Obama has requested the Democrat controlled congress to to borrow another $50 BILLION dollars to give to nearly bankrupt cities and states. Some of that money will flow back to Democrat campaigns in the form of dues paid by the union employees.

This year the Bureau of Labor Statistics confirmed that for the first time in the history of the United States, a majority of union members work for the government, not the private sector. To be exact, 52% of all union members work for the federal or state and local governments. That means more than half of the $10 million that unions wasted just in Arkansas first came from your tax dollars. And the waste goes well beyond Arkansas.
