What I found amazing about that survey is when informed about those Washington union bosses here on the Hill, when they found out, the union members back home found out that those bosses took their union dues to more or less come up with this demagoguery, the report card and the ads that are attacking us on television and radio, 59 percent said they want to ask for a refund for their dues. Mr. Speaker, the folks that picketed me on this one particular day, it was interesting, because I found out that one came from Los Angeles, one came from San Francisco, another was from San Jose. One was the executive director, who is the paid bureaucrat. The regular union members who are making a living were out working.
