Campaign Finance
I am tired of the Union using my Union Dues to support tax and spend candidates who are not even good for the country! Arkansas is the arm pit of the US because of them already. I always vote the opposite of the Union any way and so do most of the people I work with. The union and its members are on different sides most of the time. It is time for the Union to wake up!
