Support The Right To Work Act

From the National Right To Work Committee:

Please complete and return your 2014 Membership Ballot immediately.

It's vital that you do so at once.

Every year, the National Right to Work Committee surveys our members to ask which of our ongoing efforts is most important to you.

But this year, your response has never been more important!

With the 2014 mid-term elections right around the corner, it is vital I know how you want me to order the Committee's priorities.

You see, this year the Committee will be devoting extensive resources to our education and mobilization program in key states and districts to let the American people know which politicians support Right to Work and which politicians support compulsory unionism.

Of course, you and I both know Big Labor will do everything in their power to keep the Committee from informing folks about their radical, forced-dues agenda.

And for decades, one of their favorite weapons has been to use their allies at the Federal Election Commission (FEC) -- and similar bureaucracies at the state level -- to harass us with wasteful subpoenas demanding we prove we have members or that our education programs are "legal."

That's why it's vital you sign your 2014 Membership Ballot IMMEDIATELY.

When I last wrote you about the FEC's continuing harassment of the Committee, your response was overwhelming: "FIGHT ON!"

But with union boss puppets still calling the shots in virtually every federal agency, FEC bureaucrats aren't backing down.

That's why your IMMEDIATE action is so critical.

As you know, union boss water-carriers at the FEC have time and again buried your Right to Work Committee under a mountain of harassing subpoenas with the ultimate goal of stopping you and me from informing Americans which politicians support Right to Work and which ones kowtow to the union bosses.

In fact, Big Labor's cronies at the FEC have concocted rules which refuse to recognize that you are a "real" member of the National Right to Work Committee.

They have insisted that you aren't entitled to the same rights under the U.S. Constitution accorded to members of other organizations!

From what my attorneys tell me, the Committee's position will be stronger if as many members as possible certify each year that they currently consider themselves to be members of the National Right to Work Committee.

In the past, the FEC bureaucracy has attacked the Committee for exposing corruption involving candidates for federal office and top-level union officials.

But today, with Big Labor cronies in control of the White House and federal bureaucracies, you can bet FEC bureaucrats will attempt even more brazen assaults on the Committee -- with no fear of sanction.

Just think of the IRS harassment of groups the President doesn't like back in 2012!

So your 2014 Membership Ballot -- demonstrating that we do have members -- may be essential to winning any legal challenge to our membership.

Returning your Membership Ballot is also very important for another reason.

You see, you and I face some tough decisions.

As I mentioned, my goal is to expand our federal and state programs as we move into 2014.

I would like you to help me determine what aspects of our programs on which to focus.

You can bet Big Labor will be firing on all cylinders to elect their radical, forced-dues candidates this November.

So, now is the time to put every member of Congress on record on the forced-unionism issue by forcing a roll-call vote in both houses of Congress on the National Right to Work Act (H.R. 946/S. 204).

A National Right to Work law would mean that no worker could be forced to join or pay dues to a labor union just to get or keep a job.

And just getting a roll-call vote would be a win/win scenario for Right to Work supporters.

After all, every time in the past five decades that Big Labor's pet politicians have been exposed to the nearly 75% of Americans who think forced unionism is just plain wrong, they have gone down in flames at the ballot box.

That's why I believe you and I must do everything we can to FORCE Congress to go on record for or against the National Right to Work Act.

But this fight won't be easy -- or cheap.

So I'm counting on your support, and your advice.

You see, in addition to battles in Congress, Right to Work supporters face some tough challenges and tremendous opportunities on the state level as well.

After Big Labor-dominated Michigan passed Right to Work in 2012, the union bosses were beside themselves. They vowed to overturn Right to Work.

The union elite hope that overturning Right to Work in Michigan will stall our momentum going forward in other states.

It's critical you and I not let that happen.

And Michigan isn't the only Right to Work state Big Labor is targeting. Indiana, Iowa and Harry Reid's home state of Nevada are in the crosshairs as well.

In addition to protecting Right to Work Laws in Michigan, Indiana, Iowa and Nevada, now is the time to use our momentum to extend Right to Work to other states like Montana, Maine and Kentucky, as well as in a host of other states where the political climate is ripe for freeing workers from the shackles of forced unionism.

The fact is, after years of hard work, both Indiana AND Michigan became Right to Work states in 2012 -- something that hasn't happened since 1954!

If two states deep in the heart of the union boss dominated Rust Belt can pass Right to Work, I'm confident other states can as well.

So, should I emphasize a federal campaign, concentrating on forcing a roll-call vote on the National Right to Work Act?

Or should protecting state Right to Work laws and going on the offense in states where it's possible to pass Right to Work be our top priority?

Or should the Committee try to fight both nationally and on the state level?

Now, I'm sure you agree that it's vital you and I do everything we can to put all members of Congress on record for or against forced unionism -- especially with the 2014 elections on the horizon.

So, if you think our federal legislative program should take priority, mark "FEDERAL LEGISLATION" on your Membership Ballot and return it to me today.

But before you do, give some thought to what's at stake in the state legislatures.

Shouldn't you and I strike while the iron is hot in states where it may be possible to pass Right to Work laws?

But we can't leave current Right to Work states undefended in order to gain new ones.

So should defending state Right to Work laws and working to end forced unionism in target states be a top priority?

If you think so, mark "STATE LEGISLATION" on your ballot.

I'm sure you can see why I'm torn . . .

. . . And why I'm writing to ask you for your advice -- and, I hope, for your increased financial support.

Unless we can generate a major influx of support at the beginning of this year, it's likely that I will be forced to cut back on both federal and state legislative programs.

This would be a tragedy.

Opportunities to go on the offense like this are rare, and you and I must take advantage of our recent gains while we have the chance.

In fact, the worst thing you and I could do is wait.

So can I count on you to make a contribution, equal to or even larger than $50?

I know that's a lot.

But in truth, I'm hoping you'll even consider doing more with a generous contribution of $100.

But even that might not be enough.

Without an immediate infusion of resources, I'm afraid we may miss out on a real opportunity to go on the offense and take the fight directly to the union bosses.

I know the current economic situation makes things tough, but with everything at stake, I hope you'll agree to make a contribution large enough for us to keep fighting in Congress and the state legislatures.

So, please consider sending a contribution of $50, $100 or whatever you can afford right away.

But whatever you can send, please send it right away so I'll know how to budget for the coming year.

And please sign your 2014 Membership Ballot right away with your advice on how to proceed in 2014.

The mid-term elections will soon be upon us, and the state battles are raging as I write. Your advice and support are critical.

Please act today. The Board of Directors and I anxiously await your reply.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix
President
