The largest political campaign spender in America is not a megacorporation, such as Wal-Mart, Microsoft, or ExxonMobil.
It isn’t an industry association, like the American Bankers Association or the National Association of Realtors.
It’s not even a labor federation, like the AFL-CIO.
If you combine the campaign spending of all those entities it does not match the amount spent by the National Education Association
Fools!, they don't like to spend, but they are in a fight of TV advertisement against the Corporate/wealthy donors. Do you expect them to sit with folded hands ?
Sources, cause it doesn't look that way to me...
