Legislation for Unions

The Politicians elected to represent the American people continue to ignore the will their constituents. Legislation for Card Check, which would allow labor to organize unions without secret ballots elections, is moving forward in Congress. The American people have expressed their opposition to this legislation but again their political agenda is more important than what is right for our country or the will of the people. I have included the following article for more information as a source on this issue.

Article:
The White House visitors log was just released and I found within the information something very interesting… Andy Stern, head of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and a fierce advocate for the Employee 'Forced' Choice Act or EFCA has been spending quite a lot of time at the White House.
In fact, according to The Wall Street Journal, Stern has visited the White House at least 22 times in the last year alone making him one of its most frequent visitors. Apparently, despite the fact that the American people -- including union households -- oppose EFCA, union bosses continue to pressure government officials to move forward with this job-killing legislation.

And just today, Politico is reporting that the SEIU is targeting moderate Senators to vote in favor of cloture on health care. We know that a vote in favor of cloture or moving a bill forward is a vote in favor of the legislation.

This is the same tactic and strategy Big Labor will pursue with the Employee 'Forced' Choice Act, legislation that would eliminate the secret ballot and empower government bureaucrats to mandate contracts terms on employers and employees without their consent.

The only thing standing in the way of Andy Stern and his friends in organized labor is you. EFCA supporters on Capitol Hill know this legislation is a massive bailout to union bosses and will increase their power generating billions in additional revenue at the expense of our freedoms and jobs.

Please make sure your voices are heard and remind our elected officials, whether at the White House or in Congress that they answer to us, not labor bosses.

Engaging your friends and family in this debate is critical to our success. Please sign up and share this information with others so we can defeat the Employee 'Forced' Choice Act or any variation of it once and for all.
Thank You,
