I recently joined the teachersâ€™ union at my community college. Right afterward, I received propaganda from the union telling me I needed to vote â€œNoâ€ on Prop 8 & 4. Since when do labor unions tell us how to vote on issues that are not related to labor? How can the union take our dues and use them for things like this? I’m trying to find a way to opt out of the union as quickly as possible.

correction I DISAGREE WITH OUR UNION AND I AM OUT RAGED THAT THEY DONATED ANY OF MY UNION DUES FOR THIS . I AM NOT AGAINST GAY UNIONS , I JUST STRONGLY FEEL THAT GOD CREATED A MAN AND A WOMAN AND MARRIAGE. IF YOU WANT A GAY UNION OUR EXISTING CIVIL UNION LAWS PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS TO HAVE A PARTNERSHIP. PARTNERSHIPS ARE ENTERED INTO BY MANY, AND UP HELD BY LAW AND OUR CONTRACTS PROTECT THESE UNIONS WITH MEDICAL BENNIFITS ETC… BUT IT IS NOT A MARRIAGE . MARRIAGE IS DEFINED AS A STATE OF UNION BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN AND GOD. NEXT TIME YOU USE MY UNION DUES I WOULD APPRECIATE AT LEAST TAKING A POLL, OR A VOTE AS TO WHERE IT IS GOING.

I sisagree with the stand our union is taking and I resent the fact that it was taken without so much as a vote or a poll of our teachers how dare you speak for everyone with out even asking us

I wish we could stop our kids from going to school for a few days, in protest to all these teachers supporting gay marriges, I am not against gays yet what possible reason or right would they want to pollute innocents minds with the idea that being gay is acceptable, it would be like me say ” hey, every one I have aids, but its okay, I can sex with any one I choose without the use of protection, because its my right, if they get infected along the process, well its a change I am willing to take”…. is the teachers assosiation serious about these….

The teach association should have a vote by parents and teachers before they decide to support which party. They should not allow to take the money which we support the teachers to do something we think is not right.
