"...But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security..."

RAND PAUL: Sign the National Right to Work Petition

Thumbs up to this petition
In my inbox this evening was this signature request.  I think this is a fine idea and should get a vote in congress.  That's why I have signed this petition.
Dear Concerned American,


They snickered when I said I came to the U.S. Senate to change Congress.


But their laughter stopped when I sponsored the National Right to Work Act to free U.S. workers from forced unionization and break Big Labor's multi-billion dollar political machine forever.


President Barack Obama and Big Labor allies in the Senate are now feverishly scheming to bury the National Right to Work Act without a vote.


So I have a question for you.


Will you be the sledgehammer?


Your signature on the petition to your Congressman and Senators is what is needed to bust through the opposition and force a vote on the National Right to Work Act.


This is an opportunity you and I cannot afford to miss.


As you know, the right to decide freely whether or not to join a union was taken away from American workers by Congress almost 75 years ago.


A result of back-room deals between union bosses and their tax-and-spend Congressional puppets, compulsory unionism provisions in federal law currently empower union officials to:
>>>Force nearly 11 million Americans to pay tribute to a union boss to get or keep a job ...


>>>Brazenly loot union treasuries to fund the election of their hand-picked political puppet candidates like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid ...


>>>Terrorize workers and communities with violent strikes -- where they get away with beatings, arson -- even murder.


The National Right to Work Act strikes at the foundations of the union bosses' power.


And here's the thing -- the National Right to Work Act is wildly popular with American voters.


In fact, for years polls have shown nearly 80% of Americans think it should be against the law to force workers to pay money to union bosses just to get or keep a job.


All you and I have to do is force an up-or-down roll call vote on the National Right to Work Act ... And the American people will do the rest.


Many Democrats and more than a few Republicans elected with Big Labor's over $1 billion in forced-dues political cash cower in fear of casting a vote against the National Right to Work Act.


What will they do when forced to vote?


It's a win-win situation -- either they pass the National Right to Work Act and free American workers or they pay in 2012.


It will be a marathon battle.


But I will not flinch in the face of opposition and insider attacks.


I believe, with your help, this is a fight we will win.


National Right to Work Act Petition to:
My U.S. Senators and Congressman
Whereas:   Federal law permits Big Labor to confiscate $8 billion from American workers’ paychecks every year just to get or keep a job;
Whereas:   This forced unionism breeds violent strikes and a hate-the-boss mentality which drive good jobs overseas, jack up prices and risk re-igniting inflation:
Whereas:   Union bosses use this forced-dues fortune to corrupt our political system with over a billion dollars every election cycle;
Whereas:   Union-puppet politicians routinely vote for higher taxes, bailouts, job-killing bureaucracy and even more porkbarrel spending keeping our nation locked in recession;
Therefore: I urge you in the strongest possible terms to strike a blow for freedom and American prosperity by co-sponsoring and casting your every vote in favor the National Right to Work Act.
