[Vision2020] Romney: Unions shouldn’t donate

[Nicholas Gier]

Hi Tom,

As you know, I'm the president of the Idaho Federation of Teachers, and we
have most of our members in higher ed.  You should give directly to those
who are running ads against the Luna bills.

My next column is on union "bosses," the Luna bills, and the Chicago
Teachers strike.  I cannot think of any more unlikely "bosses" than Penni
and I.
