The DNC is having problems raising money because they barred corporations and lobbyists from contributing, BUT!!! BUT! Big unions are invited to come and contribute. Thats what I call progress right there. Either ALL, or NONE. You kick out two but keep one?
It is being held in South Carolina which is another problem for those unions.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers gave $1 million in 2008, but it isn't planning to contribute this year. It cites North Carolina's "right to work law" that is opposed by unions, as well as labor's need to spend money on grass-roots campaign work. "Registration drives, get-out-the-vote drives and leafleting—that's where we can make our best contribution," said spokesman Jim Spellane.
"We are making no contribution this year," said Tom Snyder, a top official at Unite Here, which contributed $100,000 to the 2008 convention. "That's all I'm going to say about that," he said.
Now, the article talks how short they are of their goal, but once it gets closer and it looks like Mitt will really win this then the pocketbooks will go open.
