As a California conservative forced to be in a union, I have been forced for over 30 years to donate to Democratic Party politicians. I don’t want to donate my money to Democratic Party politicians, but since my union dues are extorted from me for that purpose, I have no option. A thoroughly evil and despicable practice.
The California Democratic Party would be starved of money if it was not for this extortion of union dues that gives them a strangle-hold over this state.
It is about time the Supreme Court ended this criminal extortion practice. Not that it does me any good on the cusp of retirement, but at least future generations of California conservatives will not have their money extorted to give to a party they hate.
I am curious F.I.N.F....
As much crap as the UAW gets here on FR, they do have a conscientious objector clause on Religious grounds to get out of this portion of the Dues. Yes I think you have to go through hoops to do so. So did your Union have such a clause?
Here is a guy fighting the good fight, Terry Bowman, founder of "UnionConservatives". His website is down at the moment, however he is using other social media. Met him through a friend and volunteering for a candidate back in 2010. He was one of 5 co-chairs for Team Trump's MI bid in 2016. He is the real deal, keep an eye on his efforts in this arena...
