When “Nonpartisan” Election Groups Aren’t Really Nonpartisan

For the NEA, OEA, and DEA, the only thing in close races that matters is the “D” after the candidate’s name, not their occupation as an actual teacher and union aide.

As I discuss in the video below, too often in American politics nonpartisan election groups get involved in politics in not-so-nonpartisan ways. Our politics would be cleaner and more transparent if those groups just admitted they were highly partisan and focused on helping one party win. It is something I’ve dealt with for over twenty years. The last time, I unmasked Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope when he tried to put on a nonpartisan mask in America’s #1 U.S. Senate race in Colorado in 2002. As the Pueblo Chieftain reported:

Allard’s campaign saw the liberal groups coming. When the Sierra Club’s national director, Carl Pope of Washington, D.C., appeared in Denver, Wadhams was ready to answer him.

Wadhams called Pope a “hypocrite and fraud” mostly because the Sierra Club actually endorsed U.S. Sen. Max Cleland, a Georgia Democrat, even though he had almost the same environmental voting record as Allard. Like the rich, evidently, Democrats are different.

This time around it is the Ohio Education Association (OEA). For details on how the OEA is showing its partisanship, watch the video below.
