Where the NEA pulls strings

The political action committees (PACs) of the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) cumulatively contributed more than $2.5 million to Democratic congressional candidates through Oct. 21, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. That made the teachers PACs the biggest contributors to Democratic candidates. But a recent analysis by the Landmark Legal Foundation virtually proves that the hard-money contributions from teachers PACs represent the veritable tip of the iceberg for political spending by public school educators. Moreover, as Landmark meticulously documents, the state affiliates of the NEA seem to have "no more respect for federal law than their national union."

Add openly politicing in black churches to the mix. I hope the GOP starts nailing these people.
