      <![CDATA[Not all those measures have succeeded.  Anti-union organizations in California put up initiatives to ban union political contributions just about every election for the past 15-20 years.  Not one of those initiatives has passed, despite non-union voters supporting the measure 2-to-1.

      <![CDATA[<i>Anti-union laws are the only area in which Republicans have been successful pretty much around the country</i><br />
<br />
That's because unions truly are a mixed bag. Perhaps the democrats should co-opt national sentiment and push for reforms - e.g., prohibit union contracts that hamper employers abilities to promote/demote employees based on merit. Something like that would greatly improve the quality of policing in Seattle.

      <![CDATA[Republicans are also going to keep trying to make it harder for city folk, students and minorities to vote. Where I now live in VA there were places where folks had to wait in lines for five hours in order to vote.<br />
<br />
Of course in the suburbs and in the rural areas there were no lines.<br />
<br />
Also, Republicans are trying to change how electoral votes are divided. In states like CA they have been trying to make it so electoral votes are divided up by Congressional district as opposed to how it is now, when the winner of CA as a whole takes all the votes.<br />
<br />
Of course in Texas they want to keep it as it is now.<br />
<br />
They know that there time as a national party is running out and they need to make big permanent changes quick before they are completely out of power on the national level.
