One of the most troubling things about being forced to pay union dues (see
next post down) is that we know that our own money will be used to support candidates with whom we vehemently disagree.
Unless I am mistaken, Federal Law can prevent that from happening, but we will need to be proactive and make a request.
In 2006, the Colorado Secretary of State issued rules that would have required CEA to ask us. CEA sued and got them overturned for CEA and AFT. Other unions must still comply. The Independence Institute has a
web page on the issue.
Maybe I can get the experts at Independence Institute to provide information on how to duck the CEA deduction as well. There will be many teachers in Colorado Springs who will want to know when they discover what is happening.
