Good for John McCain:

"Sen. John McCain is willing to go to California to campaign in favor of a labor-opposed "paycheck protection" measure that would enable workers to prevent unions from using their dues money for political campaigns.

In a recent private dinner sponsored by the American Spectator magazine, McCain said he always has supported the concept of paycheck protection and would be happy to go west to campaign for the referendum. However, McCain told this column that nobody has requested his presence."

No union member should be forced to support a political campaign, whether they agree with the candidate or not, via money used from their union dues. McCain is to be commended for being willing to lend his support to the measure.
