Three years
into his presidency, the evidence for Obama’s loyalty to his Big Labor backers
has piled up.
Just weeks into the job, President Obama signed
executive orders designed to keep workers in the dark about their right to
refrain from union membership and discriminate against the 85 percent of
construction workers who don’t labor under union-boss control.
Then he
started packing the federal bureaucracy with pro-forced unionism appointees –
many of them straight of out top positions in the union hierarchy.
Even
Obama’s “signature” legislation — ObamaCare and the so-called stimulus — were
chock-full of payoffs to the union bosses.
And if that evidence
weren’t enough, Obama sounded off against Right to Work at the same Labor Day
rally where Teamster union chief Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. declared war against the Tea
Party and urged his army of union militants to “take these sons of b——
out.”
How did it come to this? In 2008, the union bosses launched a
Billion Dollar bet on Obama — and won. They’ve been rewarded with more hidden
payoffs and behind-the-scenes power grabs ever since.
And Big Labor owes
its massive political war chest to its forced-dues power.
That’s why the
National Right to Work Act is so vital. By eliminating the provisions in federal
labor law that actually empower union officials to seize dues and “fees” from
unwilling workers, the National Right to Work Act would cripple Big Labor’s
stranglehold on politics.
We know where Barack Obama stands, and what he
stands for.
But will the Republican nominee stand up to Obama and Big
Labor in 100% opposition to forced unionism?
That’s up to
you.
Empty rhetoric from politicians won’t be enough. It’s critical each
candidate answers in writing the simple but important questions contained in the
National Right to Work Committee‘s 2012 Presidential Survey.
But I’m
going to need your help to launch this vital program.
You see, we need to
be able to report the results of the survey to voters in the early primary
states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina — and alert Right to Work
supporters in case any candidate refuses to go on the record against compulsory
unionism.
That’s why the Committee absolutely must raise $150,000 by
September 22 to produce the TV ads and start buying air time.
A
contribution of $45.83 or $26.67 can help the Committee buy 25% of an ad on some
top public affairs television programs in the key early primary states.
If
four Right to Work supporters make a contribution of $26.67, we can buy a TV ad
on Fox and Friends. Or for every four contributions of $45.83, the Committee can
buy a TV ad on Morning Joe.
Will you be one of the four?
If
that’s more than you can afford, please consider chipping in with a contribution of
$10.
And remember, every contribution you make through
September 22 will be matched dollar-for-dollar.
Then, stay tuned and
be prepared. We’ll report back to you on where the candidates stand — or if any
candidate has refused to return the survey.
With wide-open elections just
around the corner, this is our best window of opportunity to get the candidates
to commit to 100% support for Right to Work.
And we must be prepared to
turn up the heat.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
