Freedom's Watch Chief of Staff Joe Eule introduces their new video concerning the harm America will suffer at the hands of out-of-control liberals if their dreams of total power are realized.


"Please check out our latest web ad on what may be the biggest issue of the day - Senator Chuck Schumer's drive for a 60-seat majority of liberals in the Senate and what that would mean for our country. Yes, I'm talking about that Chuck Schumer; the same one who dismissed repeated warnings about Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and fought to protect risky Wall Street hedge funds from scrutiny.


If Schumer's efforts are successful, it would likely be the end of the filibuster for conservatives, the most important legislative brake available to the minority. Wall Street's biggest cheerleader would then have unchecked power to control the agenda in the senate.

We all know what that would mean - there would be nothing to disrupt or stop Schumer and the left's drive for higher taxes, a massive redistribution of wealth, activist judges, reckless reductions in defense spending, unrestrained pork barrel spending, and barriers to free trade.

And you can be sure that the Big Labor bosses who have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on supporting Schumer's project will get exactly what they want, beginning with passage of card check legislation to do away with the secret ballot for union elections, which would increase union membership by millions and give unions even more political clout. That's not what American needs.

They say absolute power corrupts absolutely and we've sadly seen evidence of that in recent days with the Ted Stevens verdict. But a Senate controlled exclusively by those wedded to a leftist agenda would give Chuck Schumer and his left-wing allies the kind of absolute power that could allow them to force through a liberal agenda that America cannot afford."
