The first item of the Democrats' liberal agenda is upon us and we must stop it today!
Card Check legislation will make it easier for unions to organize while doing away with decades of experience that carefully balances the interests of employees, unions and the employers.
Card Check legislation will also do away with secret ballots and instead employees would have to voice their vote in front of union organizers.
The Democrat-led Congress worked tirelessly over the past two years to deliver paybacks to Big Labor bosses who helped get Democrats elected. Now, it comes as no surprise that Democrat Leader Steny Hoyer said they would work on the card-check bill “early on” in the next Congress to strip union workers of their right to a secret ballot in union elections.

We elect our President, Congressmen, Governors, State Legislators, Mayors, School Board Members, and even our local Dog Catchers through secret ballots. So why do unions want to do away with it for their elections?
Why would they want to open up the election process to intimidation and coercion?
With the decline in union membership continuing, we know the real answer to why big unions want to change the election process... During these tough economic times the last thing our country needs to worry about is a union boss pushing his agenda on the American worker.
