Oppose the National Labor Relations Board ambush election scheme

From the National Right to Work Committee:

The deadline to register your opposition to the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) radical ambush election scheme is just days away!

Over the last week, I've collected over 60,000 petitions from Right to Work supporters like you opposing the Obama Labor Board's proposed election guidelines, which are designed to grease the skids to force workers under union-boss control.

Now it's time to turn up the heat even more.

In a moment, I'll show you how you too can register your opposition with the NLRB -- and provide you with sample comments -- but first let me remind you what's at stake if the Obama NLRB gets its way.

You see, the NLRB's proposed new election guidelines are designed to make union certification elections as one-sided as possible by:

** Encouraging union operatives to conduct stealth organizing campaigns for months or even years until they collect "union authorization cards" from just 30 percent of the workforce;
** Ambushing the rest of the workforce with quick-snap elections just days after union organizers turn the cards in to the NLRB;
** Denying workers sufficient time to counter union-boss propaganda, educate themselves and coworkers about the effects of unionization and organize in opposition to the union;
** Forcing companies to hand over to union organizers the name, address, phone number, e-mail address and shift schedule of each employee, exposing workers to "home visits" and other intimidation tactics.
In fact, if union bosses get wind of the possibility that they could even lose an ambush election, the new rules would allow them to withdraw their petition but save the personal contact information of each worker for a full-scale card check campaign at a later date.

I guarantee that Big Labor's high command, always desperate for new streams of forced-dues revenue to spend on politicking and union-boss perks, and their allies will file comments with the Board in favor of the new guidelines.

It's vital you and I stand up and speak for the individual worker.

That's why, in addition to the Foundation's comments and the petitions I've already collected, I'm asking you to register your opposition to the rule change with the NLRB.

Please, file your comments with the Board today.

You can write your own comments explaining why you oppose the ambush election scheme, or please feel free to copy the text below:

As a concerned citizen, I ardently oppose the National Labor Relations Board's proposed new union certification election procedures.

If enacted, these rules would expose workers to even more aggressive union organizing drives and invasions of privacy. Quick-snap elections deny independent-minded workers sufficient time to counter years of union-boss propaganda and make an informed, private choice for themselves. Even if union operatives think they can't win an ambush election stacked in their favor, the new rules let them keep the phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses, and shift schedules of every worker and launch a intimidation-filled "card check" campaign in the future.

I urge the NLRB to drop the proposed rule change under Docket ID No. 2011-0002-65959.

The bureaucrats at the Obama Labor Board are out of control. Demand they stop acting as an organizing tool for Big Labor.

The deadline is Monday, April 7, so I hope you'll act right away.

And after you file your comments, please consider chipping in with a tax-deductible contribution of $10 or more to help the Foundation fight back against forced-unionism power grabs like the Obama Labor Board's ambush election scheme.

But most importantly, please register your opposition to the NLRB's proposed scheme today.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

P.S. The biased Obama Labor Board is once again scheming to implement new union certification election rules that would open up workers across the country to harassment and intimidation by aggressive union organizers.

It's vital the Board hears from citizens like you opposing these dangerous ambush election rules.

Support the Balanced Budget Amendment

From the National League of Taxpayers:

Higher taxes, more spending, and no reform.

The $3.9 TRILLION federal budget Barack Obama has proposed for the new fiscal year is a rerun of every terrible fiscal idea he’s ever had, and then some.

It would impose $1.2 trillion in new tax hikes on the country, from airlines to death taxes to new taxes on small businesses.

It would undo the sequester cuts and spend billions on numerous failed programs -- so much so that the Treasury Department estimates yearly federal spending would almost double, from $3.5 trillion in 2013 to $6 trillion in 2024.

That would include $750 million on federal funding of preschool, $5 billion to Obama’s political supporters via so-called “green energy” loans, and a $1 billion “climate fund” to fight global warming.

And it doesn’t stop there.

It would let existing fiscal bombs keep ticking, by continuing to fund ObamaCare and ignore the rising costs of Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare -- leaving them on the path to complete collapse.

Obama admits his proposal would raise annual deficits to at least $4.9 trillion for the next ten years -- but of course, other estimates look even worse.

The Congressional Budget Office and White House Office of Management and Budget both expect deficits higher than $7 trillion per year.

All in all, Obama’s budget would leave us with a $25 TRILLION national debt by the end of the next decade, not counting some $70 trillion in so-called entitlement obligations.

Does this make any sense?

Aren’t we already in debt to the tune of more than 17 TRILLION dollars?

The fact is, President Obama will continue to demand more and more of our tax dollars and will drive us deeper into debt, which is why it’s so important that you and I force members of Congress to hold the line.

Thanks for all that you do.

Sincerely,

Gary Paumen, President
National League of Taxpayers

P.S. The good news is, the tough Balanced Budget Amendment endorsed by the National League of Taxpayers, H.J. Res. 5 and S.J. Res. 7, would stop budgets like this dead in their tracks.

In addition to making government spend within its means, this amendment would require a two-thirds vote to raise taxes, making it far harder for presidents to hide spending behind new so-called “revenue” sources.

So if you haven’t yet done so, please click here at once to sign your Balanced Budget Amendment petition to your Congressman and Senators.

Thank you from Rand Paul

From Rand2016:

Thank you.

That's all I can say in response to your overwhelming support for my end of quarter push.

Thanks to your passion and generosity, you helped me zoom past THREE different goals and raise nearly $300,000.

No matter what battles I've engaged in, I always know you are in my corner and it's you who makes victory possible.

And during my end of quarter push, you made a statement the big government politicians can't ignore.

Nearly doubling the original goal of $150,000 is a clear sign conservatives stand ready to fight and win in 2014.

So please accept my thanks for all of your support in making my end of quarter push a massive success.

In Liberty,

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)

P.S. Please chip in a contribution so I can continue to lead the fight in the Senate for our conservative values.

Public Advocate victorious over the SPLC

From Public Advocate:

Exciting news!

A large portion of the Southern Poverty Law Center's (SPLC) ongoing lawsuit against Public Advocate was “dismissed with prejudice.”

Colorado District Court Judge Wiley Daniel has just ruled to uphold Public Advocate’s First Amendment right to defend America’s families.

After almost two years of fighting the SPLC in this costly court case, this ruling is particularly vindicating.

The SPLC is suing Public Advocate over the use of an image of two homosexuals getting “married” in a mailer exposing the agenda of two supposedly conservative legislators in Colorado.

But the judge disagreed with them, ruling that our mail “concerns a matter that is both newsworthy or of legitimate public concern.”

And therefore, it was protected under the First Amendment.

The DailyCaller.com -- as well as multiple news stations in Colorado and Virginia -- are all reporting on this victory.

This win came just days after the FBI announced it would be severing formal ties with the SPLC.

While no official reason was given, experts attribute this about-face to the embarrassment the SPLC is receiving both from my subpoenaing of them in a separate court case and to Public Advocate’s continuing opposition to them in the Colorado case.

We have refused to quietly bow to the SPLC's demands and threats.

Instead, I have written dozens of emails and letters to hundreds of thousands of Americans alerting them to the SPLC’s anti-Family agenda.

We have called out the Justice Department for allying with the SPLC to target and harass conservative, pro-Family groups like your Public Advocate.

And we have made sure America never forgets that the SPLC “hate map” of pro-Family groups was used as a kill list by a deranged gunman.

Our perseverance is paying off.

The SPLC has been knocked down twice in just the last week!

The dismissal of a major part of the SPLC's legal assault could not have been possible without your help.

Personally, this ruling lifts a huge weight off my shoulders.

We would not have been able to maintain our legal defense without your generous support.

Thank you so much.

But while the worst of the suit was dismissed with prejudice, we still have to fight the remaining charge.

And if you and I lose, there will be serious consequences for Public Advocate and our effective grassroots programs.

So I hope you will continue to support Public Advocate moving forward.

For the Family,

HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.

P.S. Will you chip in $5 or $10 to help Public Advocate fight for family values and traditional marriage against the SPLC and President Obama's rogue Justice Department?

Let's see. The SPLC has been tied to feminist and militant gay groups. The SPLC states that they are going after hate groups but look at those they ally themselves with. What are they if not hate groups.

Petition Congress to support the National Right To Work Act

From Rand2016:

Earlier today I introduced the National Right to Work Act as an amendment.

And a vote could come at any moment.

That's why I'm counting on your immediate action to help me turn up the pressure on my colleagues to force a vote on this crucial amendment.

You see, with control of Congress up for grabs this November, you and I need to get every member of the Senate on the record.

Ray, I couldn't imagine any Senator heading home to meet the voters and trying to explain why they voted against an amendment supported by nearly 80% of the American people.

So I hope you'll sign your emergency "End Forced Unionism" emergency fax petition right away.

This amendment is our best chance to halt forced union dues being used to elect tax-and-spend politicians like Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

But it's going to take a flood of grassroots support to force an on-the-record vote on my amendment.

Your action has made the difference before.

In fights to stop the national gun registry and President Obama's march to war in Syria, your action turned the tide when all the so-called "experts" claimed victory was beyond our reach.

A vote could come at any moment so please take action immediately by signing your "End Forced Unionism" emergency fax petition immediately.

In Liberty,

Senator Rand Paul (R - Kentucky)

P.S. Earlier today I introduced the National Right to Work Act as an amendment.

A vote could come at any time so I hope I can count on you to sign your "End Forced Unionism" Emergency fax petition immediately.

After you sign your petition, please chip in a contribution so I can continue to lead the fight in the Senate for worker freedom.

Force an up and down vote on the National Right To Work Act

From the National Right to Work Committee:

Big Labor desperately wants to stop a vote at all costs.

In recent months, your emails, petitions, and postcards have flooded Capitol Hill offices, increasing the numbers of cosponsors on the National Right to Work Act, which has been reintroduced in the Senate as an amendment to another bill this week.

Senator Mitch McConnell was on the Senate Floor this morning calling for a vote, but union-label Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is going all-out to block the vote, so we need to turn up the heat.

Please call your U.S. Senators at once and urge to cast every vote in favor of the National Right to Work Act.

The National Right to Work Act gives every Senator the opportunity -- and the obligation -- to fight to restore to American workers the freedom to work free from union coercion. That freedom should never have been stripped from them in the first place. .

But you can bet the Big Labor hierarchy is putting tremendous pressure on every Senator to protect their power.

That's why it's vital you call your U.S. Senators right away, and urge them to vote for the National Right to Work Act on all votes.

Contact your Senators

You see, just getting a vote would be an enormous win/win situation for Right to Work supporters.

Poll after poll shows that 80 percent of Americans support the Right to Work principle.

So if Big Labor's allies in the Senate want to KILL our National Right to Work Act, they'll face the wrath of the voters when they are up for reelection.

Your help has been critical as we've built momentum for our cause.

Now in this critical moment, I need your help again.

And after calling your Senators, please consider chipping in with a contribution of $10 or more to help your National Right to Work Committee keep up the fight against Big Labor.

But most importantly, please call your Senators at once.

Please act right away. There's not a moment to lose.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

P.S. Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell are making a major push to get a vote on Right to Work on the Senate floor!

It's vital you call your U.S. Senators at once and urge to cast every vote in favor of the National Right to Work Act.

Springsteen the cover artist

I was surprised to find out the songs that Bruce Springsteen songs are not his own. They were originally recorded in 1957 by a group called Big Daddy. These songs have been lost for decades and have only been recently discovered. We have one of them here.Check it out:
