Dear Concerned American:
"I owe these unions."
President Barack Obama couldn't have stated it any
more clearly.
And after spending an estimated BILLION dollars
to re-elect Barack Obama and maintain control of the
U.S. Senate, the union bosses couldn't agree more.
They're wasting no time demanding PAYBACK.
Top AFL-CIO union boss Richard Trumka has already
made clear that he expects Big Labor's Card Check
Forced Unionism Bill to be a top priority in Obama's
second term.
Not only that, Trumka threatened to use his
forced-dues political warchest to oust any member of
Congress in 2014 who stands in his way.
That's why it's vital you sign the petiton below
putting yourself squarely on record OPPOSED to the
union bosses' Card Check Forced Unionism Bill -- and
the rest of Big Labor's agenda -- IMMEDIATELY.
Since Barack Obama doesn't have to face the voters
again for re-election, the union bosses understand
this may be their last -- and best -- opportunity to
make Card Check Forced Unionism the law of the land.
That's why it's vital you act today!
As you know, if "Card Check" passes, workers would
no longer be able to vote for or against union boss
"representation" in a secret ballot election.
Instead, the union bosses would intimidate workers
one-on-one -- or three-on-one -- into signing
so-called "union authorization cards."
And, of course, Big Labor has yet another ticking
time bomb hidden in the "Card Check" legislation.
If the union bosses can drag out negotiations with
an employer past 90 days by making outrageous
demands, Obama Administration bureaucrats will have
the power to use this so-called "problem" as an
excuse to write a new labor contract and force its
terms and conditions of employment upon those
workers.
So you see, not only does Big Labor want to strip
workers of the right to a secret ballot but also of
the right to vote on their own contracts as well!
Can you imagine the kind of damage that would do to
our already-fragile economy?
I know I can.
In fact, some folks ask me from time to time,
"Senator, how could the President and Congress even
consider a bill like 'Card Check' with the economy
the way it is?"
What I tell them may be hard to stomach, but it's
the truth.
If "Card Check" passes, it would mean billions more
dollars for the union bosses' coffers.
Billions more that will be spent on politics.
We're talking permanent political power.
I hate to say it, but that's why the union bosses,
Barack Obama and Harry Reid aren't going to let up
one bit.
And with too many Republicans scared that standing
on any principle will bring another attack in the
media, I'm very concerned that what may happen.
That's why it's important you
sign the petition to oppose
Card Check Forced Unionism IMMEDIATELY.
Should "Card Check" pass, this dangerous power grab
would:
*** Force millions of additional working
Americans to pay union dues under the threat of
losing their jobs, filling Big Labor coffers
with hundreds of millions of forced-dues
dollars;
*** Dramatically increase the wasteful work
rules, hate-the-boss propaganda, slowdowns and
bitter strikes that shut down businesses and
destroy jobs, ensuring that even more plants
are closed and more jobs are shipped overseas or
lost forever;
*** Enable Big Labor to pump even more
campaign cash into the coffers of its radical,
tax and spend politicians who, in turn, will
look for even greater ways to increase the union
bosses' forced-dues empire.
That's why I'm
counting on your help IMMEDIATELY.
After failing to pass most of Big Labor's agenda --
including "Card Check" -- during his first term,
President Obama is anxious to payback his Big Labor
benefactors.
As he told the former Russian President, "I'll have
more flexibility after the election.
And you can be sure the union bosses are going to
double-down in their efforts to make sure "Card
Check" happens during Obama's second term.
So we can't wait. We have to
mobilize NOW.
The good news is, the National Right to Work
Committee has developed a massive plan to stop the
Card Check Forced Unionism Bill dead in its tracks.
Grassroots mail. Phone calls. Newspaper, radio and
TV ads.
But it's all VERY expensive -- especially since
everything is "last minute."
That's why it's vital you
act TODAY!
And that's why, in addition to your
signed petition, I hope you'll agree to make a
generous contribution to help stop the Card
Check Forced Unionism Bill.
After signing your petition, please make a
generous contribution of of $500, $250, $100
or $35.
This is not a battle you and I can afford to lose.
I'm convinced that with the Committee's plan to
mobilize Americans against the Card Check Forced
Unionism Bill, you and I can stop this bill -- and
the rest of Big Labor's agenda -- dead in its
tracks.
But we don't have much time.
Please
sign this petition and make a generous
contribution of $500, $250, $100 or $35 -- or
whatever you can -- to help defeat Big Labor's Card
Check Forced Unionism Bill.
It's vital you act TODAY!
Sincerely,
Rand Paul, M.D.
U.S. Senator
P.S. At a press conference immediately following
the 2012 elections, AFL-CIO union boss Richard
Trumka told reporters he expected Card Check Forced
Unionism to be a top priority of Barack Obama's
second term.
