Today, the National Right to Work Foundation announced it will file a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission on behalf of two Alabama educators and itself against the National Education Association teacher union and two NEA affiliates for an illegal political fundraising scheme by the union hierarchy:
Washington, DC (January 13, 2009) – The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation announced today it will file a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) asking it to investigate charges made by two Alabama educators who discovered a union scheme to divert their money into the National Education Association’s (NEA) political action committee (PAC).
Claire Waites, the chair of the science department, and Dr. Jeanne Fox, an assistant principal, both work at Daphne Middle School in Bay Minette, Alabama. Waites and Fox are both members of the Baldwin County Education Association (BCEA), Alabama Education Association (AEA), and NEA teacher unions.
In July 2008, Waites and Fox attended the NEA’s annual convention in Washington, DC, as delegates of the BCEA. By telephone, BCEA union president Saadia Hunter informed Waites and Fox that contributions to a “children’s fund” in their names were made from money included in their expense reimbursements for their trip to the convention.

2010! NEVER AGAIN! 2012! WITH RESOLVE! OUR, PROBLEM? SOLVED! KERRY MARVIN
Frustration with political situation with both parties
Amen. It must change now. What happened to the novel idea that the representatives of government "represent" the people not their own personal and political interests and ambitions. Their arrogance astounds more people every day. How about clean house and have term limits?
States Rights/Voters Rights
I am so glad to see that there are other people out there who believe the same principles that I do and have seen trampled on in this country for the past 6 months. This Congress and Elected Administration should be ashamed of what they have done and are doing; refusing to acknowledge that "We Are The People" and they work for us. They took an Oath of Office to uphold these rights and have turned a blind eye.
My sister and I have felt such a strong belief as you have expressed and in fact needed to do something in some small way; we have produced Red, White & Blue Silicone Wristbands with "We The People" on them and wear them constantly to show our support for the American people; we have been selling them to all who want to show there solidarity daily as well, not just at the Tea Parties. We are donating a portion of the proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project in the name of our forgotten Military, who have fought tirelessly, sometimes to their death, to keep us free and safe.
We stand with you and will do whatever we can to further the cause that our Constitution should be followed and that we will not stand for anyone to take away our rights and beliefs. We need to take back control of our government. I will write and email all of my Congressmen and State Representatives and demand that we be heard. I will also continue to do my part at the Tea Party Movements and spreading the word with Signs and Wristbands that "We Are The People".
I agree fully
I agree fully
Rule Of Law
Since the beginning of these United States we have been under the rule of law, not the rule of man. There is no provision in our Constitution for one man to become so strong as to rule like a king. We have seen in this president a pattern of pressuring and intimidation of corporations and banks to bend to his version of the law, and corruption in the area of voter fraud on a grand scale. It is time to clean house and bring order back to the whole system. We do need to stand up and be heard. We have that chance on July 4th. There will be Tea Parties all over America. Find out where your local Tea Party is and join all the rest of the citizens in sending a message to Obama and those Senators and Representatives who don't want to listen. We will not go away!!!
The time is now, and the choice wiil be ours and that of the rule of law rather than the rule of man.
FEC complaint
I'm sending this to my senators, govenor, and congressman.
Thank you!!!
Fat Chance!
Yes, I will continue to complain to my elected representatives for all the good it will do, You see, my congressman is Barney Frank and my senators are John "Vietnam" Kerry and Teddy "Chappaquidic" Kennedy. Does anyone think that any of these clowns care what we think? They are perfect example of why we need term limits for politicians.
