Union lawyers are desperate to undo Indiana's newly-enacted Right to Work law, hoping their spurious lawsuits will send a wrecking ball through all 23 state Right to Work laws across the country.

In one of their most absurd arguments, the union lawyers actually contend that Right to Work -- which simply allows workers to choose for themselves whether they want to join or financially support a union -- violates the U.S. Constitution's prohibition on slavery.

Up is down, left is right, freedom is slavery.

That's why your National Right to Work Foundation is fighting back.

As you may recall, last month, Foundation attorneys moved to file an amicus brief for a group of independent-minded Indiana workers in federal court in support of their newly-enacted Right to Work freedoms.

And last week, in another union legal challenge in state court, two clients of Foundation attorneys filed an amicus brief to support the Right to Work law.

But I'm afraid I may need your help to make sure their voices are heard.

It's vital that the state of Indiana -- led by Governor Mitch Daniels and Attorney General Greg Zoeller -- holds nothing back to defend Indiana's popular and duly-enacted Right to Work law.

Let me tell you why I'm concerned.

You see so far, the state of Indiana has remained silent on the independent workers' friend of the court brief.

Support from Attorney General Greg Zoeller could go a long way toward making sure their voices are heard.

That's why I'm asking you to sign an Open Letter to Attorney General Zoeller urging him to defend Indiana's popular new Right to Work law with full force and to publicly support the independent workers' arguments.

It's crucial the court hears the perspective of these workers as a reminder about what this fight is all about: Protecting the freedom of association of workers.

Moreover, Foundation attorneys have successfully defended state Right to Work laws in the past, most recently in Oklahoma.

Not only that, in the Foundation-won Davenport v. Washington Education Association (2007) decision, the United States Supreme Court reiterated that, as the Court had originally decided in 1949, Right to Work laws are constitutional.

Union bosses know that for decades the courts have upheld Right to Work laws while acknowledging the fundamental conflict between compulsory unionism and freedom of association.

And they hope that by dragging out the battle in Indiana, they will also suppress the growing Right to Work movements in other states like New Hampshire and Montana.

That's why it's vital we continue to aggressively defend Indiana's Right to Work law every step of the way.

It's also vital the state of Indiana holds nothing back in defense of the Right to Work law -- including supporting the brave workers who are standing up to Big Labor as a friend of the court.

So please, sign your Open Letter to Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller right away.

But most importantly, please act right away by signing your Open Letter.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix
