I believe that Washington State teachers can opt out of the portion being used for political purposes. I wonder if Wisconsin has the same provisions.


Did you know that all of the teachers opted for an 8% pay cut that would more than cover the governor's so-called deficit? The $1,000 dues for their union is bull$hit as well. The only places suggesting this are (really) www.rightwing.com and www.impeachobama.com, among other teabagging websites. Is this where you get your news from?
