"...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.

Fighting back against Union Bull-Crap in Wisconsin

I received this email today and thought I would share it with you.  No need in me prefacing this because it is self-explanatory:

"Friends,
Last week we stood strong in Washington and had a major impact on the debate. While we did not get Cut, Cap & Balance, we stopped Congress from giving President Obama a blank check. We stopped Congress from allowing President Obama and Harry Reid to raise taxes in order to pay for their spending addiction.


Now we are on to the next big battle of the recall elections in Wisconsin. We have partnered with Tea Party Express for a “Restoring Common Sense” tour to support the Republican Senators that are being recalled.


Usually politicians are recalled for not doing their jobs. These Senators did their jobs! They went to Madison and worked with Governor Walker to balance the state budget, while 14 Democrat Senators fled to neighboring states. Now, they are being unfairly targeted because they stood on conservative principles in order to restore fiscal responsibility to the state.


There is no battle more important in our country right now. President Obama and his Organizing for America, along with the SEIU, AFL-CIO and MoveOn.org have all pumped money into this state in an effort to recall these Republicans. If the Republicans are recalled, it will only embolden the left.


We must stand strong for fiscal responsibility and reign in the out of control spending that plagues Washington and state houses across the country!

We are traveling across Wisconsin and holding rallies for the next four days. You can find the tour schedule HERE.


Yesterday, we kicked off the tour with stops in Hudson and La Crosse.

In Hudson, we had a very successful rally after being greeted by at least 50 union thugs. They were nasty, mean and obnoxious, but that is to be expected. We are a threat to their liberal agenda.
Today we are headed to Kenosha and Thiensville. We are headed into the heart of liberal land, so we expect many more union protestors.
We will update you later on today's stops, but we need your help now.
What can you do to help this effort?


Please stand with us and support our efforts to stand for fiscal responsibility by making a generous contribution HERE. While George Soros and big labor money fund the left, individual supporters like you fund us!


Follow American Grassroots Coalition live on Facebook and Twitter.
We will be blogging each day from the road and adding pictures from the rallies. You can stay updated on our travels HERE.


Wisconsin needs our support and we need your support! We cannot do this without you. "
