but your post seems to be more about attacking a republican "enemy" than about fraud. you're talking about less than 400 signatures by one person, but using it to attack labor unions.

my opinion, this is another breitbart / fox style BS story like acorn, black panthers, and sherrod.

attacking unions about initiatives is missing the true problem... the fact that the initiative process has been used and abused to attempt to destroy the state government and the essential services it provides by legislating poorly from the ballot... and it's only going to get worse due to the recent activist supreme court ruling on corporate spending in elections.

it also shows that the debate has shifted from actually discussing the issue of income taxes to issues totally unrelated. too bad.
