You're right, money does talk, and that's why labor gives extraordinary amounts of money to certain candidates. Have you noticed the recent union endorsements of Obama from some very large unions? One of the country's largest unions, SEIU, recently endorsed him. And lots of money comes from those endorsements. ALPA-PAC hands out tons of checks every year to pilot-friendly candidates. ALPA understands how the system works. Pilots should too. Big business buys their politicians, and we buy ours. Don't vote for the ones that business has already bought and paid for.
