Obama/Dems Put 25,000 U.S. Companies at Risk

Barack Obama has signed Democrat-proposed legislation, aimed at appeasing labor unions, that will place 25,000 U.S. construction companies at risk.

This outrage was done at the bidding of labor union bosses who contributed mega-bucks to the Obama campaign.

The legislation prohibits government contracts from being awarded to companies that are not 'unionized.' And thus, Barack Obama and the Democrats are discriminating against multi-thousands of American construction workers that do not belong to labor unions.

And the taxpayers once again get screwed.

If government contracts are awarded only to unionized companies that are significantly more expensive due to their union contracts than non-union companies, this means the taxpayers are going to be paying out the wazoo just because of a vendetta Obama has against non-union workers.

Thus, the idiot-in-chief strikes again. And let's not forget the idiots who support him both in Congress and in the electorate.

Another Reason Obama is Dangerous--UNIONS

Unions are responsible for much of the plight of American manufacturing, including automakers, in the nation today. At one time they served a healthy purpose. That day is no more.

But we now have a President that is as pro-Union as any U.S. President in history. The Unions heavily supported Barack Obama financially. Now they want payback, and he is certainly giving it to them.

But the new administration’s commitment to labor goes much deeper than just rhetoric or staffing decisions that have been praised by such organizations as the Communist Party USA and the Democratic Socialists of America.

In fact, much more dangerous to our nation’s history of free markets and individual liberty are the policies Obama’s pro-union forces are pushing.

In less than three weeks, Obama has already signed three pro-union executive orders, with another two on the way designed to steer money from his massive public sector bailout toward union firms.

And then there is labor’s top priority – the so-called “Employee Free Choice Act,” which among other provisions would strip away workers’ rights to a secret ballot in determining whether or not they wish to be represented by a union.

Unions, Environmentalists Scheme to Rob Pensions!

Earlier today, Americans for Limited Government announced that it had formally asked Labor Secretary Elaine Chao to launch an immediate investigation into a well-orchestrated plan by top union officials, environmentalists, and political interest groups to raid worker pension funds in order to push the green agenda.

Americans for Limited Government has the full report.

This is an outrage that is being conducted against American citizens without their knowledge. But now that the cat is out of the bag, we can only hope somebody will stop these despicable thieves.

Democrats Trash the Secret Ballot

Washington, DC (TLS). In a move designed to make it easier for workers to organize Unions, House Democrats passed a measure that would allow Union organizers to conduct a vote on unionization without the use of the secret ballot.

Score one for the big Union bosses at the expense of American businesses and taxpayers.

Up until now, employers could require Union organizers to conduct votes among workers by secret ballot. With today's measure passing the House, big Union bosses are one step closer to claiming a majority vote for unionization by workers, WITHOUT secret ballots to prove it.

The secret ballot is a cornerstone of our constitutional, democratic republic. The Founders demanded the secret ballot to prevent not only peer pressure but pressure by the forces of tyranny.

With this vote today, the Democrat-controlled House just proved it doesn't care about the principles symbolized by the secret ballot, such as the power of the individual, individual rights, one man one vote, etc.--all foundational principles of a free society.

If this terribly imprudent bill becomes law, Union bosses can claim a majority vote by acclamation or some other strong-armed scheme to cajole individual workers into voting to unionize. This will result in a renewed spread of unionization in areas where historically it has not been popular. One of the main reasons for the massive financial expansion and the explosive population growth of the sun-belt is the LACK of unionization. In today's society wherever Unions go, companies raise prices to pay for Union demands. Inflation ensues. Companies have difficulty meeting their bottom line.

Talk to any honest person in the world of finance and business, and they will tell you that the main reason U.S. automakers are having such trouble keeping up with Japanese companies is the fact that our automakers are unionized, meaning that the bulk of the price of one car goes toward the Union-mandated pay-scale and benefits of workers.

Thus, Detroit and other cities located in what was once a bustling industrial complex have experienced a mass exodus, and cities located in the sun-belt that frown on unionization have flourished.

The Democrats today made it clear that they wish for the fate of Detroit to fall on Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, and Phoenix.

Thanks a lot.
