The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) launched on Tuesday a massive grass-roots campaign to help President Obama’s and the union’s other endorsed candidates’ election efforts.

The union will field a more than 100,000-strong volunteer army, staffed by union and non-union members, to help their chosen candidates. The union’s campaign aims to reach voters through 13 million phone calls, knock on 3 million doors and hold more than 1 million conservations across the country.

SEIU officials have said in the past that the union spent $85 million on its 2008 political program.

This illustrates the crooked relationship between unions and democrats.
They take money directly out of workers checks to fill the democrat campaign coffers.

It's quite a racket they got going on.

People Beaters? Give me a break! This is blatant, dishonest propaganda. Given Republican voter suppression efforts, Obama's supporters need to do something. Having union members get out the vote is pretty mild considering the Republican tactics.

Unions (especially public disservice unions) have become as greedy as any 19th-century robber baron.
