Americans believe that a delivered people, to be truly released must also be educated in their political choices. Democracy is not a spectator sport. each participant is a winner. no other than those who fail to participate are the loser Unions, at assisting their members to understand the issues and the candidates, help this process

Jack Kemp

The accurate role of organized labor in the political proces is the same as that of all organizations --to work to further the best interests of its individual members, of at liberty enterprise, and of our nation. As co-founder and president of the American Football League's Players Association, I helped negotiate the first league-wide pension contract in history. I believe in the sanctity of the contract and the right to bargain--and I also regard and uphold individual rights to select free of coercion. I have been fortunate enough to receive the endorsement of many labor unions during my campaigns for Congres and I have learned first-hand that union members suffrage the candidate, not the political party. The political diversity among American working men and women and their active involvement in the political proces has been virtuous for labor and good for our democracy. I welcome the active involvement of labor in the political proces upon a bipartisan basis.

Pat Robertson

Organized labor has at its disposal vast aggregate amounts of money held in trust in a less degree than a tax free status. This cash comes from the dues of hard-working Americans.

These appropriates are not Democratic money or Republican riches but workers' money.

I perceive that unions should have the same rights and privileges in the political proces as any other non-profit membership organization. However, not should the leaders of unions use their power or the union owings for any candidate in a primary or general election. Political participation is a precious right that should in no degree be abridged to any American.
