From The National Right To Work Committee:
The next Republican surrender to Harry Reid, Barack Obama, and Big Labor could be just days away.
Harry Reid and the rest of the Democrats are planning to ramrod one of the AFL-CIO's top lawyers, along with another union-label nominee, through the Senate and into a seat on the powerful National Labor Relations Board.
Union bosses will have the functioning rubber-stamp Board they've craved for years.
And a handful of Republicans say they are going to help.
There is no reason in the world to fast-track the nominations of Nancy Schiffer and Kent Hirozawa to the Obama Labor Board, but that is exactly what these Senate Republicans have agreed to help Harry Reid do.
They've already railroaded these blatantly pro-forced-unionism nominees through the committee process.
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) joined the Democrats on the Senate Labor Committee to rubber-stamp the nominations, and Lamar Alexander (R-TN) betrayed independent workers by pledging to vote for the nominees on the only vote that matters -- the vote to cut off debate.
Harry Reid is planning to schedule that vote any day now.
That's why it's vital your U.S. Senators hear from you right away.
The rushed vetting process has failed to give the American people enough time to evaluate the nominees.
And what little that's on the record about the nominees is more than troubling.
As the top lawyer for the AFL-CIO, Nancy Schiffer testified before Congress in favor of the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill.
Not only that, she called secret-ballot unionization elections "inherently coercive."
Yet now she's being railroaded onto the very federal agency that oversees those elections.
The Obama Labor Board has long made it a priority to rewrite the election rules to grease the skids for unionization.
And once Barack Obama gets his pro-forced-unionism majority on the Board, it is likely to reinstate its delayed ambush elections policy that exposes workers to many of the abuses of Card Check instant organizing.
Obama's other nominee, Kent Hirozawa, was a top aide to Obama Labor Board Chairman Mark Pearce, who has been at the helm of the rogue agency as it has run roughshod over worker freedom.
At last week's quick-snap hearing, Hirozawa refused to answer questions about his role as Pearce's counsel.
Reid and Obama's excuse to ram these nominations through the Senate is that the Board will lose its quorum next month and won't be able to issue decisions.
But they could achieve that by confirming Mark Pearce, Harry Johnson and Philip Miscimarra, the three nominees who have had time to be properly vetted.
Now that the nominations are out of committee, Harry Reid could bring them to the floor at any time.
So please, sign your petition today to your U.S. Senators expressing your disapproval of this sham, quick-snap process.
We face an uphill battle.
Big Labor is fighting hard for this rush job, and we can't match their forced-dues-backed warchest.
But it's vital your Senators know where you stand.
Please click here to sign your petition urging your U.S. Senators to oppose the confirmation of forced-unionism partisans Nancy Schiffer and Kent Hirozawa on all votes.
And so we can alert even more Americans to this outrageous rush-job, I hope you'll consider chipping in with a contribution of $10 or more.
Please do all you can.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
P. S. Union-label Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is set to ram Barack Obama's biased NLRB nominees through the Senate -- and some Republicans are going along with the rush-job.
