From The National Right To Work Committee:
Your action is urgently needed.
As you know, over the last several decades, much of Congress' constitutional authority has been subsumed by an ever-growing executive branch.
And that trend has gotten much worse under the Obama regime.
Fortunately, the Congressional Review Act (CRA) allows Congress to overturn outrageous regulations like the bureaucratic power grabs rammed through the Obama Labor Board.
S.J. Res. 8 is a Joint Resolution of Disapproval that would prevent implementation of the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) "ambush" election rules.
Every member of Congress must now take a stand: Either to support free and fair elections or to stack the deck in favor of Big Labor.
And the House is expected to vote this week -- so time is running out!
That's why it's critical you sign your petition urging your Representative to support S.J. Res. 8.
S.J. Res. 8 would stop these new "ambush" election rules that represent nothing more than a backdoor attempt by the NLRB to undermine Congressional authority by granting Big Labor the power they sought from the Card Check Forced- Unionism Bill.
However, in proposing the "ambush" election rules, President Obama and his NLRB have again demonstrated their lack of regard for not only Congressional authority and the will of the American people but also for the rights of the American worker.
You see, this proposal would heavily deprive employees' ability to make a fully-informed decision by reducing time in which the process occurs from the current average of 38 days to as little as 11 days.
And to make matters worse, this "ambush" election rule will force businesses to surrender employees' personal information -- names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and work shifts -- to union bosses.
This gross encroachment on workers' privacy will likely result in additional harassment and intimidation at the hands of Big Labor.
With all that's at stake, I hope you'll IMMEDIATELY sign your petition, urging your Representative to support S.J. Res. 8.
The final vote is expected this Thursday, so there's not a moment to lose.
And after you've signed your petition, please consider a generous contribution of $5 or more today to help your Committee mobilize even more Americans in support of S.J. Res. 8.
Please, act right away.
For Worker Freedom,
Mark Mix
P.S. S.J. Res. 8 is a Joint Resolution of Disapproval that would prevent implementation of the NLRB's "ambush" election rules.
The House is expected to vote this Thursday -- so time is running out!
That’s why it’s vital you sign the petition, urging your Representative to support S.J. Res. 8.

Tell Congress to hold unions accountable for their crimes
From The National Right To Work Committee:
Union bosses consider themselves above the law -- because they are -- thanks to the notorious Supreme Court Enmons decision.
Ever since that infamous decision in 1973, union bosses have been granted immunity from prosecution for acts of violence and vandalism they orchestrate in the so-called "pursuit of legitimate union objectives."
This outrageous loophole in federal law has effectively tied the hands of federal law enforcement officers and has permitted union bosses and their handpicked "enforcers" to achieve their union goals – by any means necessary.
But you and I have an opportunity to put an end to all this.
Senator David Vitter recently introduced the Freedom From Union Violence Act (S. 2535), to close this loophole in federal law.
It's no secret union bosses are all too happy to use violence and terror to achieve their number one goal: force more and more working men and women into paying union dues.
You and I need to make sure union bosses and their henchmen are subject to the same laws as every other lowlife and criminal.
That's why the Freedom From Union Violence Act must be a top priority in Congress.
But to make this happen I'm going to need your help.
First, will you sign the petition to your Congressman and Senators urging them to co-sponsor and vote for the Freedom From Union Violence Act?
If we are going to force the politicians in Washington to stand up to the union bosses and end this legalized union terrorism once and for all, it will take an army of concerned and committed Americans just like you.
You see, unless the politicians in Washington are forced to pay attention, they will continue to turn a blind eye to the violence committed by their union boss patrons.
With your help, we hope to contact millions of Americans who are outraged union bosses have the green light to act like they're above the law.
So after you sign your petition, I hope you'll chip in with a contribution of $10 or more o the National Right to Work Committee so we can mobilize the grassroots army needed to finally plug this Big Labor loophole of violence.
Your contribution will also help pay for costly radio, T.V., and newspaper advertising, which, if funds allow, we hope to run in swing states and districts calling on politicians by name to support the Freedom From Union Violence Act.
But most importantly please sign the petition at once.
With your help we will put an end to Big Labor's terror tactics once and for all.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
P.S. Senator David Vitter has introduced the Freedom From Union Violence Act (S. 2535) to finally close the loophole that exempts union bosses and their handpicked "enforcers" from federal prosecution for violent acts which would send any other brutal thug or criminal to jail.
So please, sign the petition demanding your Congressman and Senators cosponsor and vote for the Freedom From Union Violence Act.
Let's make the politicians in Washington explain to their constituents why violent union officials should be allowed to get away with murder.

Right to work victories
From The National Right To Work Committee:
The headlines have been stunning.
***SEIU Hit With Second-Biggest Campaign Finance Fine in Michigan History
***Wisconsin AFL-CIO Failed to Disclose Special Election Spending
***Big Labor, ‘Looking for Revenge,’ Expects to Dump $300 Million into 2014 Elections
And even so, they’ve barely scratched the surface of Big Labor’s forced-dues-funded election-year schemes.
Any day now, another headline may soon be spreading from coast to coast:
***Right to Work for All Civil Servants, Supreme Court Holds
The High Court’s term wraps up later this month, so a ruling in your National Right to Work Foundation’s Harris v. Quinn case is imminent.
A major Right to Work victory could “demolish a major source of funding and support for the Democratic Party,” one Big Labor apologist recently wrote.
But it’s a dangerous game to predict how the frequently cautious Supreme Court will rule.
That’s why Foundation staff attorneys are prepared to keep up the fight, especially as more and more stories come out this year exposing Big Labor’s corruption of our politics.
You see, during the last major election cycle, a Wall Street Journal report showed that, “the unions’ reports to the Labor Department capture an additional $3.3 billion that unions spent” on politics between 2005 and 2011 beyond their self-reported numbers.
And those staggering figures don’t even include Big Labor’s enormous local and regional political expenditures.
The fact is, as another election season shifts into high gear, Big Labor is once again pulling out all the stops.
Your help is vital right now to fight back against Big Labor’s multi-billion-dollar forced-dues political activism.
And Foundation attorneys tell me daily about ever more brazen examples of union boss forced-unionism misconduct.
Outraged workers are literally flooding our phone and e-mail systems with complaints of union boss abuse and requests for help.
With the election just around the corner, time is short.
If you and I don’t act, Big Labor will have spent all the workers’ money on politics before these workers can force them to give it back.
So it’s vital your Foundation be able to respond immediately to the flood of worker complaints with lawsuits, NLRB charges, Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaints, exposure in the media . . .
. . . Whatever it takes.
That’s why I am asking you to make a special contribution today to help the National Right to Work Foundation fight back.
With your help, the Foundation will be able to dramatically step up efforts to use legal action to block Big Labor’s illegal forced-dues-funded political electioneering.
A top Foundation priority for the rest of the year is to file new legal actions to force union officials to comply with prohibitions on collecting and using forced dues for politics.
You see, Big Labor is striving to undo recent Right to Work gains -- especially the passage of Right to Work Laws in Indiana and Michigan, as well as Wisconsin’s government-sector monopoly bargaining reforms.
That’s why in addition to spending hundreds of millions (if not billions) of dollars on U.S. Senate races, they’re scheming to take over state legislatures in all three states and governors’ mansions in both Michigan and Wisconsin.
Right to Work victories in Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin have begun to put a crimp in the forced-dues-to-politics pipeline.
But with billions of dollars at stake, the union bosses will stop at nothing to open the spigots all the way.
And they’ll have help.
As you know, union officials still have unprecedented access to a Big Labor-friendly White House and control of the U.S. Senate.
The fact is, President Barack Obama literally let top AFL-CIO union boss Richard Trumka handpick the new members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
That’s just one in a series of behind-the-scenes maneuvers the Obama Administration has made to reward its Big Labor benefactors, who unleashed another billion-dollar spending blitz two years ago to re-elect Barack Obama and lock in its majority in the U.S. Senate.
And even before that election was over, they were already scheming for 2014.
I hope you understand the real threat opponents of forced unionism face this year. I’m sure you must be as concerned as I am about the prospect of Big Labor’s forced-dues political machine targeting pro-Right to Work politicians in November.
With your help, the Foundation will:
***Prosecute cases against union officials who illegally seize and spend forced-dues money to get their cronies elected to positions of power.
***Protect popular state Right to Work laws that make union affiliation voluntary in 24 states. Union bosses are mounting end-runs around these laws and continuing to file nuisance lawsuits to block their implementation.
***Expose Big Labor’s misdeeds. Every time Foundation attorneys file charges against union bosses for breaking the law, misusing union dues or instigating violence against workers, the Foundation hammers the union bosses in the press for these ugly abuses.
The Foundation has been a much-needed watchdog against the union bosses countless times, including our recent victory for a New York teacher whose religious objection to union membership had been met with years of delay and law-breaking by local union officials.
In fact, no other nationwide organization is poised to stop Big Labor’s illegal use of workers’ forced-dues cash to advance its political agenda.
***It was our FEC complaint that led to a massive fine – the third largest in FEC history – against a Service Employees International Union (SEIU) front group.
***It was National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys who won the Knox case in 2012, when the U.S. Supreme Court held that union bosses must obtain the affirmative consent of non member public-employees before collecting fees for an “emergency” political slush fund in an election year.
***And Foundation attorneys were back at the High Court earlier this year and a ruling is imminent in our Harris v. Quinn case that could expand on that victory and stop the collection of all forced union fees from public employees.
Time and time again, the Foundation has been on the front lines against Big Labor’s schemes to buy elections with money seized from unwilling workers.
That’s why it’s vital you help the Foundation today. Would you take a moment right now to help with a timely contribution of $50?
Please consider making a gift that generous. But if $50 is more than you can spare today, then I hope you’ll consider a gift of at least $35 or $15.
With your help, Foundation attorneys will be fighting to block Big Labor’s illegal use of forced dues for politics wherever we find it.
Whether you can afford to give $50 or $35, or if for you a contribution of $15 is a sacrifice, the most important thing is to act today.
With so many challenges ahead of us, it is vital that we act immediately to stop Big Labor illegality.
Please make a generous, tax-deductible gift today.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
P.S. With union bosses mounting their largest forced-dues political effort in history, it’s vital the Foundation fight back with lawsuits, NLRB charges, FEC complaints, exposure in the media . . . on every possible front.
And with the elections right around the corner, you and I must act TODAY.
So please respond today with a generous, tax-deductible gift of $50, $35, $15 or whatever you can afford.

Say no to forced union dues;support S. 204
From Rand2016:
Not long ago, I introduced a simple, one-page bill designed to usher in the biggest change in American politics in generations . . .
For nearly 70 years -- with our federal government's blessing -- Big Labor bosses have mocked our Constitution and strangled our economy as they've built a massive political empire on the backs of hardworking Americans.
These workers' FORCED union dues -- confiscated by union bosses under the threat of outright job termination -- have bankrolled tax-and-spend politicians like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid for decades.
Just take a look at the federal Leviathan you and I live under today to see the horrific results.
If you and I are serious about restoring liberty and limited, constitutional government in America, you and I must strike at the very heart of Big Labor's illicit power by passing my National Right to Work Act (S. 204) to finally END forced union dues in America.
Of course, I'm depending on you to help make that happen.
As you'll see, I've made up a special "End Forced Unionism" petition for you to sign that urges your U.S. Congressman and Senators to cosponsor my National Right to Work Act (S. 204).
In fact, with your help, my hope is to generate such a flood of support for this legislation that my colleagues in Congress will realize they have no choice but to act.
The truth is, every American who has any interest at all in freedom has a stake in this fight because Big Labor's billions are at the very root of virtually every Big Government assault on our most basic freedoms, including:
***The "ObamaCare" disaster, restrictive new economic regulations, higher taxes and bigger government as union bosses tighten their grip on the private sector and seek to control, bleed, and bankrupt the government;
***Abortion-on-demand, gun control and assaults on the family as Big Labor uses forced union dues to bankroll politicians who support their radical social agenda; and
***So-called "Green" boondoggles like Solyndra, federal taxpayer handouts and bailouts for Washington, D.C.’s politically-connected corporate cronies who have done union-label politicians' bidding and handed their workers over to Big Labor control.
And just like most problems in America, you can thank the federal government for this mess.
I know some Big Labor apologists try to pass their forced-dues privileges off as a "state issue."
But the truth is, federal laws on the books since FDR are the root source of the union bosses’ illicit compulsory unionism power.
And if Congress created the problem, it's up to Congress to end it.
But of course, I'm not naive.
I know the union bosses and their cronies in Congress are going to do everything they can to sweep this issue under the rug.
But with nearly eight out of ten Americans opposed to forced union dues, I'm not about to back down.
In fact, with poll numbers like that, my colleagues can vote against my bill if they want.
I know they'll pay the political price down the line, and you and I will only move closer to finally passing this critical bill.
So won't you please sign your "End Forced Unionism" petition?
And if you can, please agree to a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50 or $35 TODAY.
Your generosity will help me reach more Americans and generate even more support for this critical legislation.
If you're fed up with politics as usual, you MUST be involved in this fight.
So please sign your "End Forced Unionism" petition and make your most generous contribution TODAY.
Please act IMMEDIATELY.

Say no to forced unionism
From The National Right To Work Committee:
"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 petition 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. When Barack Obama was re-elected in 2012, top AFL-CIO union boss Richard Trumka was already thinking ahead for this year’s midterm elections and threatening to take out any members of Congress who opposed the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill.
That's why there's not a moment to waste!
Please sign this petition demanding your Congressman and Senators OPPOSE Big Labor's Card Check Forced Unionism Bill before it's too late.
After signing your petition, please also make a generous contribution of $500, $250, $100, $35, or whatever you can afford, to the National Right to Work Committee -- IMMEDIATELY!
Sign the petition
"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 petition 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. When Barack Obama was re-elected in 2012, top AFL-CIO union boss Richard Trumka was already thinking ahead for this year’s midterm elections and threatening to take out any members of Congress who opposed the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill.
That's why there's not a moment to waste!
Please sign this petition demanding your Congressman and Senators OPPOSE Big Labor's Card Check Forced Unionism Bill before it's too late.
After signing your petition, please also make a generous contribution of $500, $250, $100, $35, or whatever you can afford, to the National Right to Work Committee -- IMMEDIATELY!

Tell the Senate to oppose the nomination of Thomas Perez for Labor Secretary
From The National Right To Work Committee:
Barack Obama is at it again.
While Obama's out-of-control, unconstitutional National Labor Relations Board has earned the bulk of the headlines, Obama's Labor Department has quietly done Big Labor's bidding since Day One.
And now, eager to pay back his union-boss benefactors who unleashed another billion-dollar political spending blitz in 2012, Obama has nominated another anti-worker, pro-Big Labor ideologue to be Labor Secretary.
And I need your help to kill the nomination.
You see, we're entering the most dangerous phase of the battle to stop the confirmation of Barack Obama's union-label Labor Secretary nominee, Thomas Perez.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was hoping to have rammed the nomination through the Senate before Memorial Day.
But concerned citizens raised a storm of protest, and it showed.
The 12-10 vote in the Senate Labor Committee in May was an encouraging sign that Senate Republicans are listening and a filibuster is possible.
Now the union bosses are demanding Harry Reid use any means necessary -- even ending the filibuster for nominations -- to ram pro-forced unionism Thomas Perez's nomination through the Senate.
Let me tell you more about what's at stake.
You see, under Obama's first Labor Secretary, Hilda Solis, the Department of Labor went on a rampage to keep workers in the dark about their rights and enable the forced unionization of workers across the country by:
*** Slashing the budget of the Office of Labor Management Standards, the federal agency that enforces union disclosure laws and serves as a watchdog against union-boss corruption;
*** Refusing to enforce anti-kickback provisions, allowing workers' wages to be kicked back to employers in union-sponsored job target funds.
*** While on the Montgomery County Council, Perez allegedly used his position to influence, intimidate and pressure employers on behalf of Communications Workers of America union officials.
That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Even more troubling, because Barack Obama is no longer accountable to the voters, I'm afraid the worst is yet to come.
And everything we know about Thomas Perez strongly suggests he will use the power of his position to promote the agenda of Big Labor at the expense of hard-working Americans:
*** As Maryland's Secretary of Labor, Thomas Perez greased the skids to more easily force unionization on childcare providers.
That scheme mirrors Big Labor's nationwide strategy to force in-home care providers -- even parents, grandparents, and babysitters who take care of sick and disabled children with state assistance -- into dues-paying ranks.
*** Perez repeatedly tapped into the Big Labor well to fill political appointments.
In fact, Perez even gave a political appointment to a former organizer from the Laborers International Union of North America, an organization the Department of Labor Inspector General's racketeering section considered corrupt.
*** While on the Montgomery County Council, Perez allegedly used his position to influence, intimidate and pressure employers on behalf of Communications Workers of America union officials.
Attempting to justify those tactics, Perez made the offensive and derogatory comment that unionized workers "would be more productive, more motivated and more loyal" than non-union workers.
The more than 93 percent of American private-sector workers free from union control don't need that kind of bias at the Department of Labor.
Not only that, our economy just can't afford it.
So before it's too late, please authorize your free action fax to your U.S. Senators insisting they oppose Perez's nomination.
Now that the nomination is out of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, Harry Reid could force a vote at any time.
But I'm afraid we're really stretching our budget thin to alert concerned citizens like you to Thomas Perez' record and build up grassroots opposition to his nomination.
But most importantly, your U.S. Senators must hear from you right away.
Please authorize your free action fax at once.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
