ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

I've always been mystified by the manner in which donations from the union officers are handled. I know they all have their slogans to encourage the members to stick together such as "Together we stand" and "Divided we fall".
      Its a good slogan and I agree with it. Groups and Unions should all have those sayings to maintain strength.
      The Socialist Democrats have a slogan that's commonly used for their foes and that is, "Divide and conquer"
       Those are slogans used by many of the successful armies over the centuries and when used in the proper perspective have proven successful over and over again. But in my estimation they shouldn't be used to the pleasure of leaders of those groups alone when the money they are using to back their choice of political candidates is mostly or sometimes all placed in the hands of one particular candidate. Since the the laws of the land in this country allow for "One man, one vote," it only makes sense the money should be donated according to the will of members by a secret voting process to determine what % of the donation  would go to which candidate. So be it if 80% goes to one candidate as long as the other 20% goes where 20% of the members want it to go. Group or union leaders should not determine which way a person in this great, free country will vote! It may well be illegal and if it isn't it should be.
      I belong to a very diverse group of people whom I have coffee with every day and they're from all walks of life. We all speak our beliefs and voice our opinions but by no means would we take up a collection to back any one candidate in an election.
     We remember our basic freedom to speak freely and we certainly would respect each other in the way we would donate our money. It seems to be an unspoken rule of thumb. Don't get me wrong, we do Bedisagree on things but at the end of it all no one is angry at the other. It works for us.
      B.S.'ers we are, but liars we're not.
