<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 -- <em><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">violates the U.S. Constitution's prohibition on slavery</span></em>.<br />
<br />
Up is down, left is right, freedom is slavery.<br />
<br />
That's why your National Right to Work Foundation is fighting back.<br />
<br />
As you may recall, last month, Foundation attorneys moved to file an <em><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">amicus</span></em> brief for a group of
independent-minded Indiana workers in federal court in support of their
newly-enacted Right to Work freedoms.<br />
<br />
And last week, in another union legal challenge in state court, two clients of
Foundation attorneys filed an <em><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">amicus</span></em>
brief to support the Right to Work law.<br />
<br />
But I'm afraid I may need your help to make sure their voices are heard.<br />
<br />
<u>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</u>.<br />
<br />
Let me tell you why I'm concerned.<br />
<br />
You see so far, the state of Indiana has remained silent on the independent
workers' friend of the court brief.<br />
<br />
Support from Attorney General Greg Zoeller could go a long way toward making
sure their voices are heard.<br />
<br />
That's why I'm asking you to </font><a href="http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/8635396:11981677451:m:1:176585718:263A73D61F0EFFB2FEBC606D3E51F72B:r"><strong><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Courier New";">sign an Open Letter to Attorney
General Zoeller</span></strong></a><font color="#000000"> urging him to defend Indiana's popular new
Right to Work law with full force and to publicly support the independent
workers' arguments.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Moreover, Foundation attorneys have successfully defended state Right to Work
laws in the past, most recently in Oklahoma.<br />
</font><u><br /><font color="#000000">
Not only that, in the Foundation-won <em><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Davenport
v. Washington Education Association</span></em> (2007) decision, the United
States Supreme Court reiterated that, as the Court had originally decided in
1949, Right to Work laws are constitutional</font></u><font color="#000000">.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
That's why it's vital we continue to aggressively defend Indiana's Right to
Work law every step of the way.<br />
</font><u><br /><font color="#000000">
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</font></u><font color="#000000">.<br />
<br />

</font><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">The Washington press corps always love it when establishment Republicans
scold conservatives for trying to "purify" the party, and <em>Time </em>magazine's
Michael Scherer did not disappoint. "Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar did not go
quietly, after losing his primary contest Tuesday in Indiana to a Tea
Party-backed challenger, Richard Mourdock," Scherer wrote the next day in a <em>Time</em>
"Swampland" blog. "If there is one thing the American people need to read
today," the former writer for the far-left <em>Mother Jones</em> directed, "it
is his farewell missive, which may prove to be as prescient and long lasting as
Dwight Eisenhower's 1961 exit speech warning of the coming military industrial
complex." Thursday morning on MSNBC's <em>Daily Rundown</em>, Scherer trumpeted
Lugar's words as "an incredibly eloquent manifesto."</font></p><p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">On ABCCCP's <em>World News</em>, Wednesday, Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts
hyped Barack Obama's endorsement of gay marriage as a "historic,"
"riveting" "cultural event." The interview played more as
an infomercial for the President, featuring long stretches of Obama talking
with no pesky, interrupting questions. Anchor Diane Sawyer enthused,
"Well, as we said this is a historic cultural and political event in this
country." In the tease for the interview, Sawyer trumpeted, "Tonight
on <em>World News</em>, a historic ABC News interview. President Obama takes a
stand on same sex marriage." In the segment, Roberts didn't push the
President on <em>why</em> his "evolution" took 17 months.</font></p><p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">

about President Obama announcing his support for gay marriage on Wednesday,
co-host Savannah Guthrie confessed to the group of all liberal pundits:
"...so many people in the media seem to uniformly support same-sex
marriage." That fact was made blatantly obvious by the discussion that
preceded Guthrie's admission. The panel featured openly gay CNBC host Suze
Orman, who voiced her support of the President's move: "Yeah, part of me
is like, 'What took you so long, President Obama?' This is something that
should have been done, in my opinion anyway - obviously, I would think that - a
long time ago."</span></font></font></font></p>
