The REAL Reason for Public Employee Unions

I’m not a big fan of Karl Rove; and I’m suspicious of his campaign arms, including Crossroads GPS.  That said, every citizen should look at this ad prepared by Crossroads GPS:

What Gov’t Employee Unions REALLY Think!

Pay particular attention to the remarks of National Education Association General Counsel Bob Chanin’s remarks:

It is NOT because we care about children.  And it is NOT because we have a vision of a great public school for every child.

NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power.  And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues …

Remember that the next time you are told “It’s for the children.”
