Prop 32: No

Prop 32 will prevent unions and corporations from using payroll deductions to raise money for political activities.  Proponents tell us that this will keep special interest money out of politics...sounds fair...except it will actually only keep UNION money out and not impact corporate political spending at all.  Unions are the only organizations with enough political clout to present any countervailing force to corporate money in politics.  Ending payroll deductions would end union’s primary political fundraising tool and leave corporations free to pour money into politics with their only meaningful opposition silenced.
