This will warm the cockles of your heart. An anti-union group has launched a campaign against Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) for his past support for labor, and urging him to oppose Employee Free Choice Act. They’re hitting him with radio ads, and 117 billboards, scattered across the state of Indiana, telling passersby “Don’t let Evan Bayh kill jobs.”
What’s interesting about this particular campaign, though, is that it’s sponsor–the Economic Freedom Alliance–is paying Karl Rove a pretty penny. In the first half of 2009, the group raised about $520,000, and spent about $550,000–$100,000 of which went to Rove’s consulting firm.
See Think Progress for more. You’ll be unsurprised to learn that a group that teams up with Karl Rove isn’t exactly playing it straight when it comes to EFCA.
