The Citizen Power Campaign is working to toward a future initiative modeled on a law enacted in Idaho which prohibits the government from automatically collecting union dues if any portion of those dues are used for political purposes. Idahos public employee unions challenged the law, and in February 2009 the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the statute in the Ysura decision.
The initiative would accomplish several important changes:
- Public Employee Unions will not be allowed to use any portion of workers’ paychecks (funds that are collected by the government) for political activities. This would remove hundreds of millions of dollars from the corrupt Political Machine that dominates California politics and level the playing field for all groups and citizens.
- Public employees would regain the right to make their own decisions about their political donations, not have the Union Bosses play politics for them.
- Public Employee Unions and their politician cronies will have to ASK for voluntary political contributions just like everyone else!
