30 years of lobbying
And somehow, I'm sure this is improving education in America...
John Berthoud calls attention to political activities and lobbying by teacher's and other unions:
"Over these past three decades, the NEA has carpet-bombed the political landscape with money. In just the one-year period from September 2004 through August 2005, the NEA spent $25 million on political activities and lobbying, and another $65.5 million on contributions, gifts and grants.
From 1990 through 2002, the NEA was the nation’s second biggest political giver. (Unions comprised six of the 10 top political contributors.)"
