  Mr. TAYLOR of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, on roll call vote 83, H.R. 
2608, to protect individuals from having money involuntarily collected 
and used for political activities by a corporation or labor 
organization, I was recorded as voting ``no.'' It was my intention to 
vote ``yes,'' to require the written and voluntary consent from an 
employee or union member before using any portion of their dues or fees 
for the organization's political activity.
