Union-Busting Goes National - & Not A Moment Too Soon

I have great news.

Last week, Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) introduced the National Right to Work Act (S. 504). Congressman Steve King (R-IA) is expected to introduce the House version next week.

What's next is up to Right to Work supporters like you.

If you haven't done so already, please sign the National Right to Work Act petition. Then, please forward this message to friends, family, and other like-minded citizens and ask them to sign the petition as well.

It's absolutely vital we turn up the heat on every member of Congress.

As you know, this legislation would enshrine the common-sense principle – already enforced in 22 states – that no worker should be compelled to join or pay dues to a union just to get or keep a job.

In an age of legislative overreach, this is one of the shortest bills ever introduced.

A National Right to Work Act does not add a single word to federal law. It simply removes language in the National Labor Relations Act that gives union bosses the power to extract dues and fees from nonunion workers.

And as we've seen in Wisconsin, Indiana, and elsewhere so far this year, the union bosses will do anything to protect their government-granted forced-dues powers.

That's why I need your help.

I have an aggressive plan to push the National Right to Work Act onto the front-burner of U.S. politics.

First, through a large, national petition campaign we will ramp up the pressure to secure the maximum number of co-sponsors in the House and Senate.

Then, working with our allies, we will secure hearings in both chambers to expose the abuses of forced-unionism and its cost to America in lost jobs, bloated government and corrupt politics.

Finally, we will really turn up the heat - mail, phones, email and internet ads, radio, even TV ads if funding permits - as the National Right to Work Act comes to a vote on the floor of the U.S. House and Senate.

This is an ambitious program.

I can't do it alone.

Please, sign the National Right to Work Act petition and forward this message to other grassroots activists.

Internet mobilization. Massive public information campaigns. Even radio and TV ads.

Your help has been critical so far. I know I can count on you as we push forward.

Sincerely,
