Firefighters' union to national Dems: So long!

The International Association of Fire Fighters has announced that it is shifting its money away from national Democratic races and organizations to state-level campaigns as part of efforts to fight the wave of anti-unionism around the country:

"We are simply shutting down any contributions going to any federal candidates or to any federal PACs or committees until, quite frankly, our friends are willing to stand up and fight on our behalf with the same kind of ferocity that our enemies and those that are literally trying to destroy us are doing on the other side," Schaitberger told USA TODAY.

Good - it's about time.  The national Democrats have taken organized labor for granted for far too long. Talking hasn't sent them an effective message - maybe taking away money will.
