About "Prop 32 as Conservative Attack on Unions"

In the LA Times, I have not read so soundless and unsound a hit piece as "Proposition 32: A fraud to end all frauds":

The legal fraud of public sector unions forcing their employees to contribute against their will to funds, which the union leadership then spend on causes and candidates which the individual employee does not support -- that is the greater travesty.

Public sector wrangling is tying up this state. Pensions and benefits are easting away at an already eaten out state budget. The latest reforms, just released two days ago, do very little to curb the public sector unions' appetite for taxpayer dollars.

Let's not forget the shameful abstentions from prominent Assembly Democrats, who did nothing to pass a bill which would expedite the dismissal of teachers guilty of moral turpitude in the classroom.

I support Prop 32 -- I want to end the throttle on the state, the schools, and the taxpayers!
