NEA spent $138 million on lobbying and contributions to supposedly likeminded organizations during its last fiscal year.

 

That’s a 5.3 percent increase over influence-buying levels in 2014-2015. This, by the way, doesn’t include another $46.5 million in spending on so-called representational activities, which almost always tend to be political in nature; that’s a 16 percent increase over levels in the previous year.

 

One of union’s key spends was on its own Super-PAC, NEA Advocacy, which was a key player in the Democratic National Committee’s effort to retain the White House and regain control of the U.S. Senate.

 

It poured $12.2 million into NEA Advocacy in 2015-2016, a 40 percent increase over the $8.7 million given to it during the previous fiscal year.

 

As OpenSecrets notes in its most-recent analysis of the Super-PAC’s finances, NEA funneled most of that money in it to other Super-PACs and 527 committees. This included $300,000 to American Bridge 21st Century (another recipient of NEA funding), and $774,670 to Kentucky Family Values, which unsuccessfully fought to stop Republicans from winning control of the Bluegrass State’s legislature.

The Circle.

Gov pays teachers who pay lobbyists.

 

Time to end these political lobbyists of all dimensions.

 

If you get a paycheque from the government aren’t you in a conflict of interest to lobby?

$138 Million Everywhere.

 

Over a nearly two-year period – [the last years of the Obama administration (FY2015 – FY2016)], these law enforcement agencies spent $138 million on new guns and ammunition.

 

Where did the replaced guns go?

F&F?

 

Look at all the non-mil spending on guns, while these same orgs want to take ours.
