PEOPLE ARE CATCHING ON

I've been telling you for months about a 2001 letter written by Congressional Democrats to the Mexican government. In this letter, about 11 Democrat politicians urged the Mexican government to use a secret ballot in all union elections. Now let's fast-forward to 2008. Barack Obama has been elected. The Democrats are in control of Congress. And the unions want to be rewarded for their efforts. What they want is for Congress to pass the card check bill. This bill would be crippling for American businesses because it would do-away with secret ballot union elections. The unions expect this bill to be passed within Obama's first 100 days in office. And the Democrats seem willing to comply. After all, they pandered to the union vote to get elected ... now they have to do whatever it takes to stay in power. Even if that means changing your tune on an issue like secret ballot elections.

Let's not here that when the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted to replace John Dingell with California's anti-business icon Henry Waxman in the Chairman's seat .. the vote was by secret ballot.

The Wall Street Journal has now caught wind of this letter from the Democrats back in 2001. Good read. If they had been reading the Nuze they would have known about this a month ago.

What others are saying

  • Unions outdated
    I think the unions have no use in today's business world. There was a time and place for them but it's long past gone. They have been crippling the american auto industry for years. That's was the restructuring will need to look like for the big 3 to be viable carmakers again.
  • Secret Ballot
    Didn't the Democrats use a secret ballot when they voted for the House leadership positions?
  • union letter
    Sorry, Neal, John Fund referenced the letter in the Wall Street Journal on June 18th, 2007.
  • And the scan of the letter, too
    Yes, as Rich shows, Neal showed this a lot earlier than a month ago! The Sept 9, 2008 Nuze also has an image of the actual letter signed by the Dems, signatures and all. Get it, keep it, share it! (Note that I had to save both the top and bottom of the letter -- 2 images.)
  • Neal first revealed this hypocrisy on 9/9/08

  • Can Southern states outlaw it?
    If this idiotic card check law passes, I hope some of the southern state legislatures pass laws banning its use in their states. Otherwise good paying jobs from Toyota and the like will disappear to Mexico.
  • george mcgovern
    interesting that George McGovern is strongly for a secret ballot. not exactly a right-wing ideologue
  • source
