More Winning! The National Right to Work Act Gains Sponsors

There is no better news than to learn that the United States Congress is inching closer to embracing right-to-work provisions among its federal agencies as well as protecting workers' rights at the state and local level, to!

US Senator Rand Paul has been sponsoring the National Right to Work act for the last six years of his career in Congress.

Now it looks like the legislation is gaining new life.

Check out the latest eblast I received from the National Right to Work Foundation:

Dear Arthur,

I wanted to be the first to tell you about some big news out of Capitol Hill.

Since my last update about our cosponsor blitz to pick up new cosponsors to the National Right to Work Act (H.R. 785) and (S. 545) nine new cosponsors have been added!

Nine lawmakers that have pledged to stand with the nearly 80% of Americans that think it is wrong to force workers to pay dues or fees to a union boss just to get or keep a job. 

The hard lesson of politics--just because a proposal is popular does not guarantee its passage or implementation in law.

The power of small groups, special interests, and large donation campaigns from labor unions and corporate donors can undermine the freedom-loving will of the people time and again.

It's time for us to stand up to these corrupt, corrosive influences in our political culture.

And that is why ... associations like the National Right to Work Foundation exist.

You see Arthur, the National Right to Work Act would not add a single word to Federal Law. 

It would simply repeal sections of the National Labor Relations Act that permit forced unionism. 

Repealing bad law is better than passing good laws, and stopping bad laws from passage and enactment is the best of all.

Your generous support has allowed the Committee to implement and continue its cutting edge program of email, direct mail, telephone campaigns, targeted internet ads, and personal lobbying of lawmakers to get them on board. 

But as you know, union bosses are still reeling from the passage of six new State Right to Work bills in only the last five years, and are determined to kill the bills before they see the light of day in Congress. 

Which states when right to work in the last five years?

1. Indiana
2. Michigan
3. Wisconsin
4. Kentucky
5. West Virginia
6. Missouri

We are still hoping and waiting for New Hampshire, but Republicans will need to win more seats in the 400 seat state House, since they lost numbers in Election 2016, and before that the state legislature barely--just barely--passed a right-to-work bill, only to watch former Governor Maggie Hassan veto it.

That is why your continued support is needed so the Committee can continue pushing for votes on the National Right to Work Act. 

Thank you for all you do for worker freedom. 

Sincerely, 
 
Mark Mix

National Right to Work Foundation Announces "A New Era of Worker Freedom"

The National Right to Work Foundation is lining up a series of incredible successes.

Since 2011, when Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker signed off on sweeping collective bargaining reforms, and Indiana's decision to enact right-to-work, labor unions have been taking body blows year after year.

The funnel of easy money taken from working men and women to fund causes which hurt the workers they claim to represent--that river of money is drying up.

For the first time in 30 years, the Republican Presidential candidate won the Rust Belt, including Wisconsin and Michigan, as well as Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Incredible.

Much of this was due to the heavy battering that Labor unions have taken over the last eight years.

It's about time.

And with Right-to-work set to pass in at least three more states in this year alone, it looks as is forced unionism is all but dead.

Remember: Ronald Reagan was a union guy from the 1950's as President of the Screen Actors Guild. He would later champion the pro-American rah-rah of private sector unions, too, even though trade deals were fraught with problems for American workers.

Today, Donald Trump is standing on the shoulders of Republican giants throughout the country who stood up to corrupt labor union bosses and their anti-Constitutional actions.

Here is the latest eblast I received from the National Right to Work Foundation:

Dear Arthur,

Big Labor suffered a huge setback in November, when millions of rank-and-file workers refused to support the union bosses' handpicked candidates.

How about that? Remember when Crooked Hillary was lamenting to major labor bosses who she should be 50 points ahead? Talk about strident and desperate!

For eight long years, Barack Obama repaid his Big Labor benefactors by packing the courts and bureaucracies with forced-dues partisans who expanded union-boss power over workers.

Now, a new President is in the White House, and new appointees will be able to reverse that damage.

Reverse the damage, yes, and chart a new course where the voter franchise of individual citizens is no longer under attack from collective bargaining units buying politicians and bribing them to vote in the best interests of limited special interests.

That works for me.

After Donald Trump was elected, National Right to Work Foundation researchers immediately started to vet potential nominees to key judicial and administrative appointments -- including the U.S. Supreme Court.

In fact, just days after the election, the transition team and others on Capitol Hill began requesting our research on potential appointees.

Excellent! Strong interest groups fighting for the rights of all citizens understand that their work does not end after an election.

Right-to-work states, including Kentucky

Let me remind you what's at stake.

As you may recall, last year the United States Supreme Court appeared set to rule in the Friedrichs case that forcing civil servants to pay union dues or "fees" as a condition of employment violates the First Amendment.

That changed after Justice Antonin Scalia's sudden death.

Rebecca Friedrichs has become a star because she stood up to the corrupt and oppressive California Teachers Association. California Republicans and activists throughout the state have tried as hard as they can to upend the union rules which allow syndicates to run Sacramento.

The rigging of California's elections has to cease, and the power of the purse has been snatched from the law-abiding citizens who pay all the bills.

At this point, California needs federal intervention, and a good Supreme Court decision upholding out First Amendment rights is exactly what we need.

But now, if a new Supreme Court Justice akin to Antonin Scalia takes his seat on the Court, victory in a follow-up Foundation lawsuit cutting off BILLIONS of forced-dues dollars paid by public employees is once again within our grasp.

Meanwhile, with your support, the National Right to Work Foundation can unleash new lawsuits and agency charges to repeal the Obama Administration's giveaways to Big Labor and win landmark new protections for working men and women across the country.

YES!

Of course, this is no time for us to become complacent.

We must stay vigilant against union-boss schemes to protect their forced-unionism power, such as their nationwide legal assaults against state Right to Work laws.

Thank you for your continued support as we enter this new window of opportunity to achieve historic victories against forced unionism.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix
