Who Is Going to Pay this Bill?

Obama and most of the democrats support a piece of legislation called “Card check” the official title is “Employee Free Choice Act” under the proposed bill the NLRB would recognize the union's role as the official bargaining representative if a majority of employees have authorized that representation via card check, without requiring a secret ballot election.

What this means is that union thugs will have all the time in the world to coerce 51% of the employees of any given company to sign their union member card. Now is that Employee Free Choice?

If the dems believe that this sort of vote/signing of a card, not a secret ballot is adequate for employees wouldn’t you think this is how they should conduct business in the congress?
Well you figured wrong! As John Fund of the WSJ reports; This week's 137 to 122 vote of House Democrats to replace John Dingell with liberal Henry Waxman at the energy and commerce committee would likely not have happened but for the secret ballot. Even Rep. Louise Slaughter, chairwoman of the House Rules Committee, told Congressional Quarterly she was relieved the vote would be a private one: "It's a secret ballot. . . . Thank the Lord."


Who would have figured? Such a double standard! They are dems-what can you expect!

If this bill passes (and we have to take the dems at their word, they are going to try and pass it ASAP) we can kiss good bye a few million more jobs and a number of industries. Because that’s what unions do! They are job killers and industries, they ship jobs out of this country by making it to expensive on the corporations.

Union membership has been in decline. The dems are beholden to the unions. Therefore they support the bill. This is special interest groups applying pressure and ramming a bill down our throats, against the interest of their constituents’ and to the determent of our county. People-good old politics is at work! Nothing has or will CHANGE!

Stay tuned this is turning out to be a big fight in congress, we hope that the GOP will hold strong and unite against this bill. We have to make sure that every democrat who supports this bill and votes in favor pays a political price at home for all the damage it can and would do.
