I recall hearing and reading all kinds of outcries when our government wanted to have access to the phone calls and e-mails of known terrorist, terrorist sympathizers and other criminals in order to maybe, just maybe save our lives and even the miserable lives of those who were yelling about government subversion of our liberties. As a result the United States is having to rely on information gathered from other nation's security agencies in order to protect our country. Several times now attacks have been averted do to this second hand information. (Remember the plot to blow up the army post and air force base in New Jersey that would have possibly killed thousands?) Google terrorists plots in US since 2001!
Now this bill that would most certainly subvert American liberties and freedoms; the freedom of a secret ballot vote. And I am not hearing one word from our virulent liberals and defenders of our rights. I am disgusted! I am appalled! Is this finally the breeching of the walls and the end of a Democracy that the United States is and that our enemies have been trying to get for the past one hundred years? Well if it passes it will be the one true and final moment because if the unions are given the right to an open vote or voice ballot then they will effectively control the labor force of this country, and there fore they will control the country. If your job and livelihood was at stake if you openly voted against the union then how would you vote? It is well know that the unions in this country are controlled by the Mafia so it is very possible that even your life would be at stake for a no vote. Many people have died opposing the unions in the past 40 years, just as there were deaths during the early decades of the 20th. Century when the people were trying to get the protections from sweat shops by forming unions. I come from a long line of fighters for the unions. My grandfather was in the middle of the fighting in the 1930. He was blackjacked and in a coma for weeks fighting for laborers rights to decent pay and working conditions. My father was President of his local branch of the AFL-CIO for years. I grew up hearing nothing but unionize. But before my Daddy dies in 1969 he told me that the unions had gone too far and there was going to be bad trouble ahead. Well it has taken the unions longer than I thought, but they have gotten the warhead well armed this time and the missile (our Democrat Congress) to carry the death ray home.
This is a wake up call people. If enough Democrats get in the Senate to pass this bill and Obama, who is a sponsor, is elected president then our
Way of life, our beliefs and liberties will be gone.

 Thomas Sowell: Whose "Special Interests"? We take it for granted that a vote means a secret ballot but it was not always that way. |
"We take it for granted that a vote means a secret ballot but it was not always that way. Moreover, it will not remain that way for workers who vote on whether or not they want a labor union, if legislation sponsored by Congressional Democrats and endorsed by Senator Barack Obama becomes law. "
"With labor unions being major supporters of the Democratic Party-- spending hundreds of millions of dollars in this year's election campaign-- it is hardly surprising that Congressional Democrats have lined up solidly behind legislation to let union organizers simply collect signed cards from a majority of workers, in order to be certified as the officially recognized union for those workers.
