BTW Locally congressman and ex-criminal Bobby Rush was awarded $1 million to build a Tech Center, only it seems the Tech Center was built in his pocket. We'll see if the story goes national?

Unions are permitted to be politically active because when you give money to a union, you are not allowed to declare it as a deduction, while you can get a tax deduction for money donated to a religious organization.
I sometimes wonder how much money churches and other 501(c)(3)s would raise if the big donors were no longer allowed to declare it on their taxes.
