“we have heard a lot about campaign finance reform. There are a lot of us that would like to do it and have it brought before the floor. But do we think the Democrats would include the Beck decision, where the union bosses cooperatively hold hostage their workers to contribute to their campaigns and their finances? The gentleman from Nevada, Mr. John Ensign, in Las Vegas, NV, had $1 million put against him just by the unions, coordinated by the DNC. The gentlewoman from Idaho, Mrs. Helen Chenoweth had $1 million by the unions, coordinated by the DNC against one candidate. What about the gentlewoman from Idaho, Mrs. Chenoweth, what about the gentleman from Arizona, Mr. J.D. Hayworth, $1 million by the DNC? Thirty percent of the workers in the unions are Republican. About another 10 percent are independent. So that is 40 percent of the population that is being forced with union wages to contribute, and then that money is being used against Republicans, against their will. But do the Democrats want the Beck decision in any campaign finance reform? Absolutely not, because it takes the power of the union bosses away. Unions only represent about 6 percent of the work force in this entire Nation, 6 percent. Yet, they say they stand for the working person. Small business and business makes up about 94 percent of all the jobs in this country.”
